That's how HTTP/1.1 works.  Adding the header is the way to close the
connection if you know that you are not going to use it again.
Closing it if there are no queued requests reduces the opportunity for
re-using a connection for requests that might arrive after you send
the previous request, e.g. think a proxy or some other event driven
mechanisms where the events are outside of your control.
