Hi,

 

 

If the server sends an HTTP version 1.0 response, the client should close the TCP connection, as HTTP 1.0 only supported one request/response loop per TCP connection. When you use TCP::respond you're able to specify HTTP/1.1, so the client won't automatically close the connection.

 

 

I think there was an CR noting the request to customize the headers included in HTTP::redirect and HTTP::respond, but I'm not having any luck finding references to it. Anyone know if you can specify HTTP/1.1 with the change in the CR?
