Hi,

I am trying to deactivate keepalive but I am not sure if it is really
deactivated -- would say no:

# curl --verbose --no-keepalive --output /dev/null
http://curl.haxx.se/ds-curlicon.png --output /dev/null
http://curl.haxx.se/ds-libcurlicon.png

Comparing the output above with the output from the same command without
"--no-keepalive" (or comparing the trace output) doesn't show any
difference to me.

I am not expecting

> * Re-using existing connection! (#0) with host curl.haxx.se

and

> * Connection #0 to host curl.haxx.se left intact
