Change the function is_keep_alive_connection/2 in httc_handler.erl
to look like this:

is_keep_alive_connection(Headers, Session) ->
    (not ((Session#tcp_session.client_close) or  
	  httpc_response:is_server_closing(Headers))).


In inets 4.0.1 the pipelining mechanism was a bit to optimistic
alas in the process of making it more realistic it became broken!
Hence some enchantments of the test suite will be needed as this
little bug was missed.
