Howdy!

In the process of testing my HTTP server implementation I stumbled upon a Wget weird behaviour regarding keep-alive connections.

Wget requests a `Connection: Keep-Alive`, my server responds in chunks (`Transfer-Encoding: chunked`). Wget receives the empty sentinel chunk but does not close the connection although it hasn't got any more requests sticking around in its pipeline. The reason for this behaviour is, I guess, that my server does /not/ send a `Connection: Keep-Alive` header in the response.

I think Wget should close the connection even though the `Connection: Keep-Alive` header is missing from the response. Why should it wait for more data? It's obvious that the server has no data left to send after the sentinel chunk, isn't it?
