That's not possible, no. I mean, sure we could in theory close the connections
after N seconds of inactitivty at the expense of connection re-use, but then
we still have this problem for all sites that close idle connections after N-1
seconds. There is no value for N that is guaranteed to work everywhere and
everytime, we have to use a concept that can handle a dead connection.
