If I send a GET request, the connection closes normally after I receive
the data. The Connection: close header is supposed toe tell the remote
host to close the connection after replying (or so I read somewhere) and
I threw it in for experimentation sake.

This isn't normal behavior. Do you have any particular network setup
other than plain fine unrestricted internet access? (Like a NAT,
firewall, IP masq, or similar)

Can you get data fine using curl from other (SSL-using) hosts?
