48 /**
49  * Default implementation of a strategy deciding about connection re-use.
50  * The default implementation first checks some basics, for example
51  * whether the connection is still open or whether the end of the
52  * request entity can be determined without closing the connection.
53  * If these checks pass, the tokens in the "Connection" header will
54  * be examined. In the absence of a "Connection" header, the
55  * non-standard but commonly used "Proxy-Connection" header takes
56  * it's role. A token "close" indicates that the connection cannot
57  * be reused. If there is no such token, a token "keep-alive" indicates
58  * that the connection should be re-used. If neither token is found,
59  * or if there are no "Connection" headers, the default policy for
60  * the HTTP version is applied. Since HTTP/1.1, connections are re-used
61  * by default. Up until HTTP/1.0, connections are not re-used by default.
