Anonymous Monk is recurring refering to the bugs filed for libwww-perl in relation to blocking/nonblocking sockets as the underlying logic for HTTP::Daemon, right?

So the dirty solution is brute forcing a "Connection: close" (by using $c->force_last_request;) after each response, effectively what HTTP/1.0 does and HTTP/1.1 should supersede, right?
A pity, as HTTP::Daemon has elaborate handling of HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1.

To aid investigation in the "what the OS does" corner, I'd like to add that I've seen this behavior on Linux/libwww-perl and Win32/libwww-perl clients. The common denominator really seems to be libwww-perl, which seems to run into these dead-locks after a number of successful requests or right away.
