I'm guessing it was a typo above and should be something like:
d.addCallback(lambda ign: request.finish())
Also, I don't think request.finish necessarily entails closing the
connection as this depends upon whether or the channel is persistent
via keep-alive.
I think the rules for connection persistence in twisted.web are:
HTTP 1.0:
non-persistent
HTTP 1.1 and "Connection: close" in request headers: non-persistent
HTTP 1.1 and "Connection: close" NOT in request headers: persistent
