Personally I don't beleive in half-closed connections in HTTP, but some
people like to be able to do things like

(echo "GET http://www.squid-cache.org HTTP/1.0"; echo) | telnet
proxyserver 3128

In what sense does the FTP path care about half-closed? Any actions seen
by the FTP module should be independent on if half-closed connections is
allowed or not, only the sizes of various race windows should change.
Please elaborate.
