No, WWWOFFLE closes the connection after every request. This is
compliant with HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 protocols because WWWOFFLE tells
the client that it is going to do this.

Is this when you are online or offline? I tested this when offline
and I did not get the body of the data, only the head.
There was a change in version 2.8e about HEAD requests when online.
Are you using this version or an earlier one? If earlier then you
should try upgrading, if it is this one then let me know and I will
look for a bug in the new code.

No.
