[issue9740] Support for HTTP 1.1 persistent connections throughout the standard library

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

Mr. Kumar: the "and" is intentional. The server will use keep-alive messages only if it operates in HTTP/1.1 mode itself (protocol_version). By default, it operates in HTTP/1.0 mode, and does not enable persistent connections there. The initial implementation did, but it failed since it often would not send content-length headers, which are mandatory for persistent connections.
