Er, what's the difference between using "keepAlive setting" and
"Connection: close"? AFAIK, they are the same thing.

Of course. So, you have the client set "Connection: close" (which
disables keep-alive) and then the configuration Mark proposed causes
chunked encoding to be avoided.

On the server side or from the client side? I'm not sure if Mark was
thinking client or server. I suppose server would be safer, since the
server can make the decision and not have to ensure that clients are
compliant.

So... everyone is happy, then, right? Are we arguing semantics, then?
