I think the erroneous bit is that CCProxy doesn't reset the connection

Agreed - CCProxy should send a shutdown if it doesn't support another
request.
Indeed. I think it is a proxy bug not to.
However, the same situation can happen with any proxy or server that does
support persistent connections. curl sends the next header just as the proxy
times out the persistent connection. So it would be friendlier if curl deal
with this situation rather than propagating it to the client.
I agree here too. And libcurl already _does_ handle this case when it does a
"normal" HTTP request that isn't a CONNECT, exactly for this reason.
Maybe the right way to deal with it is: if the request is not the first
request on the connection and the server resets the connection, then retry
the request on a fresh connection.
Sounds about right. The worst part is that the CONNECT function has turned
into a rather messy thing that would benefit from a little cleanup...
