I can only think of two cases:

1) If MHD is still transmitting the response and there was no error
(SIGPIPE) from the OS yet indicating that the response transmission is
in trouble (i.e. half-closed, client still reading), or,

2) when the application _suspended_ the connection and did not resume it
(or equivalently if the application is busy-waiting/blocking on
generating the reply for badly written applications).

In all other cases MHD should close the connection when the client
closes it.
