   HTTP 1.1 keep-alive   
   26 May 10 22:56:14   
   
   From: MyFirstname@robitzki.de   
      
   Hello,   
   from what I've read in RFC 2616 (http 1.1), there is neither a   
   keep-alive header nor a keep-alive connection-header option specified.   
    From three browsers I've tested, all of them send a   
      
      "Connection: keep-alive"   
      
   header and one of them send a   
      
      "Keep-alive: 115"   
      
   header. All claim to use HTTP version 1.1.   
      
   What might be the reason, why they send such headers? And what might be   
   the expected behaviour (especially in conjunction with the keep-alive   
   header) of a server? Are there any RFCs describing keep-alive with HTTP 1.1?   
      
   best regards   
   Torsten
