Description

In a very special case, we could improve the user experience by forcefully closing the connection early. The case is

1) The origin server sends a Content-Length: header that is wrong, where the CL: value exceeds the actually body size.

2) The origin server either sends a Connection: close, or it uses HTTP/1.0 without keep-alive.

3) The client (and TS) uses Keep-Alive to the UA.

In this case, we can end up stalling the UA until either the UA or the TS connection times out. It might make sense to prematurely disconnect the client when this case is detected.
