Agreed - CCProxy should send a shutdown if it doesn't support another request.

However, the same situation can happen with any proxy or server that
does support persistent connections. curl sends the next header just
as the proxy times out the persistent connection. So it would be
friendlier if curl deal with this situation rather than propagating it
to the client.

Maybe the right way to deal with it is: if the request is not the
first request on the connection and the server resets the connection,
then retry the request on a fresh connection.
