It is not *after* the disconnect, it is *in* the disconnect I believe.
Possibly the output is confused. I don't know why you'd see a client hello
there, and it isn't typical I think.

It says "OUT" which is from curl's perspective so from the client. Also
"client hello" is a client TLS message.

It means curl had no reason to forcibly close the connection, which is the
normal and thus the connection could be reused for a subsequent request,
should there be any.

In your case, you've manually added a header (Connection: close) that prevents
that and makes curl explictly kill the connection.
