Summary: Connection: Keep-Alive missing

Initial Comment:
According to the documentation, keep-alive is on by default, but can be set by --keepalive. In tests I performed, the Connection: header was missing and using --keepalive didn't help. I used WireShark to view the http. In fact the URL from which I was trying to download required Keep-Alive, so the download failed. Below is the User-Agent header (which shows the version). I'm running Vista SP2 32-bit.

User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.19.7 zlib/1.2.3

Message:
I should have included the command-line:

curl --keepalive --cookie "xxx=yyy"
http://user:pass@www.host.com/xxx/y.wmv
