Hi, I had a look at the Objective C and C++ http client code and noticed that it does not supply the Connection: close header. This means that webservers keep the connection alive assuming its a persistent connection. This slows down client side request processing significantly and also wastes server resources. I created issues 1153 and 1154 for c++ and objective c respectively it would be great to have then in the next release.
I also noticed a similar issue in java although I am not sure whether the the change is needed in java or whether underlying layers take care of it. --regards Usman Ismail
