I don't think there is any inconsistency: the server doesn't act upon your
"Connection: close". It doesn't matter what it sends in the application layer
(as an extreme example, you can write a simple echo-server that prints back
your requests, without even parsing them). You should probably ask this
question to whoever wrote chromedriver...

I don't know standards well enough to answer that... Perhaps someone else can
shed light on this.
