If you look at MHD_connection_handle_idle for the case of MHD_CONNECTION_FOOTERS_RECEIVED, you will see that MHD tests if you (or the browser) added 'Connection: close' and if so, MHD *will* close the TCP connection.

So adding a 'Connection: Close' header not only tells the browser to not re-use the connection -- MHD will also enforce the protocol in that case.

Please let me know if this is not working for you for any reason.

Happy hacking,

Hi List.

Is it possible to force close of a connection from the server after the
reply has been sent.
Setting a 'Connection: Close' header in the reply is not sufficient
since not all clients can be relied upon to actually close their
connections when encountering this header.
In my case I have a accept-one-connection-at-the-time server that must
not be blocked by clients not correctly shutting down their conenctions
after getting their replies.

Kind regards
