[erlang-questions] making http client close connections

[Joel Reymont]

The connection I'm trying to close on the client side is a long-poll  
connection. I cannot use Connection: close in the headers of the  
request that establishes it since that will cause the connection to  
close, i.e. stop being long-poll.
