Hm, perhaps I've missed something, but if your decision to ignore
"keep-alive" is based on User-Agent header alone, then _all_ proxies in the
request processing chain will ignore "keep-alive" because User-Agent is
passed through by a proxy unchanged. You might distinguish between
Proxy-Connection and Connection headers somehow (assuming clients never send
Proxy-Connection), but I doubt it is a robust solution.
