What state is the connection listed in by NETSTAT?  "Established"?
If so, that's very strange, it doesn't do that for me...

Well, if it's really not disconnecting, that's a problem that should be
fixed in HTTPAPI.

If there's something else going on, though, you might try specifying
Connection: close using http_xproc() with HTTP_POINT_ADDL_HEADER.  That
will tell the remote server to immediately disconnect when the
conversation is complete.

I wonder if I should make that the default again?  It seems like we had
fewer problems when that was the default...
