It seems OK to reject the keep-alive header.  That is not a standard request
header.  Also, it should probably not be allowed for XHR to request keep-alive
semantics since the browser cannot promise that.  The browser can promise that
it will not reuse the connection though ;-)

Alexey, my test case was Gmail.  I was using the web inspector and noticed that
a warning appeared in the error console about "connection" being an illegal
request header.
