/**
* Default implementation of a strategy deciding about connection re-use.
* The default implementation first checks some basics, for example
* whether the connection is still open or whether the end of the
* request entity can be determined without closing the connection.
* If these checks pass, the tokens in the "Connection" header will
* be examined. In the absence of a "Connection" header, the
* non-standard but commonly used "Proxy-Connection" header takes
* it's role. A token "close" indicates that the connection cannot
* be reused. If there is no such token, a token "keep-alive" indicates
* that the connection should be re-used. If neither token is found,
* or if there are no "Connection" headers, the default policy for
* the HTTP version is applied. Since HTTP/1.1, connections are re-used
* by default. Up until HTTP/1.0, connections are not re-used by default.

// in exactly the same way as the "Connection" header, but only if
// the latter is missing. We scan the sequence of tokens for both
// "close" and "keep-alive". As "close" is specified by RFC 2068,
// it takes precedence and indicates a non-persistent connection.
