libURL hangs after getting response with keep-alive header

Before I report this as a bug, maybe somebody can shine some light on 
what is going on here.

It looks like libURL hangs after getting a response with a "Connection: 
keep-alive" in it. It pretty much freeze up the entire IDE, except for 
the message box, which you can use to unfreeze everything in most cases 
by issuing the "resetall" command.

Shouldn't it just treat it as a "Connection: close" header, if it does 
not support keeping connections alive?

Also, it sounds like in HTTP1.1, the default is that all connections are 
kept alive, unless a "Connection: close" header is sent with the 
request. Therefore, shouldn't libURL be sending that "Connection: close" 
header, since it doesn't support keep-alive?

Thanks in advance,

David Beck
