Comment (by daishi):

 At the point of filing this ticket, I experienced a wired error of "Broken
 pipe", but I could not reproduce it now.
 It should and it does handle the closed connection gracefully by retrying,
 but retrying is not efficient.

 The original version of http-client that Felix has developed didn't handle
 keep-alived connections, so there's no inconsistency if not returning
 connection headers by http-server.
 Afterwards, I added the keep-alive function to http-client. I'm also
 curious about the design policy of http-server and spiffy.
