Curl always use HTTP 1.0. At least if you're speaking about the version
string it sends with its requests. Some of the stuff curl uses are 1.1
features, although it still uses the 1.0 protocol specifier.

You should be able to use that.

RFC 2616 section 14.10, page 116:

   HTTP/1.1 defines the "close" connection option for the sender to
   signal that the connection will be closed after completion of the
   response. For example,

       Connection: close

   in either the request or the response header fields indicates that
   the connection SHOULD NOT be considered `persistent' (section 8.1)
   after the current request/response is complete.
