I think that in case of HTTP 1.0 the default shouldn't be persistant. I suppose it will fix the situation. Am I correct ?

You right, the "Proxy-Connection : close" header is not defined in the RFC, but it is used in a wild.

Yes, that's what causes libcurl to assume a persistent connection for this
case. I haven't actually considered this case before. I suppose it works
better for you if you make that assignment depend on the data->set.httpversion
value?

I'm also a bit puzzled about the "Proxy-Connection: close" header you
received. RFC2616 doesn't seem to mention such a header, but I would guess
that if libcurl would've understood it it would've closed that connection...
