/**
 * Default implementation of a strategy deciding about connection re-use.
 * The default implementation first checks some basics, for example
 * whether the connection is still open or whether the end of the
 * request entity can be determined without closing the connection.
 * If these checks pass, the tokens in the "Connection" header will
 * be examined. In the absence of a "Connection" header, the
 * non-standard but commonly used "Proxy-Connection" header takes
 * it's role. A token "close" indicates that the connection cannot
 * be reused. If there is no such token, a token "keep-alive" indicates
 * that the connection should be re-used. If neither token is found,
 * or if there are no "Connection" headers, the default policy for
 * the HTTP version is applied. Since HTTP/1.1, connections are re-used
 * by default. Up until HTTP/1.0, connections are not re-used by default.
