Comment (by felix):

 Replying to [comment:9 sjamaan]:
 > I see the problem with the ''http-server'', it simply does not output
 the proper connection mode.  When he originally implemented http-server
 and spiffy, Felix decided to put this functionality in spiffy, not in
 http-server.

 There is no particular reason, why http-server doesn't do the connection
 mode handling - it turned out to be simpler in spiffy (a design mistake,
 admittedly). `http:write-response-header` has no access to the current
 request, so it can't check protocol version or request headers for
 deciding on the proper handling. As I never used http-server directly
 (only as a low-level layer for spiffy), I simply decided to handle the
 connection mode in an upper layer. Putting it into http-server would have
 been the right thing to do.
