Description

Users with java clients that happen to use https with the "Connection: keep-alive" header to fetch maven content from the fastly.com cdn of your repo are experiencing hung connections.

To reproduce, observe hang with:  ab -v 2 -H "User-Agent: curl/7.29.0" -c1 -n1 -k https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/

Noting that there is no hang if one uses http:// or drops the -k.

Already reported to fastly: https://fastly.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/73810 but they don't seem to take the issue seriously, coming from me.
