httpd(8) sent a 408 response every time a connection request timeout
was reached. This is not what other servers are doing, it leads to
ugly log messages and might confuse some clients.
benno@ analyzed that the correct behavior is (probably) to send a 408
when we are in the middle of receiving headers and time out there and
just close the connection in all other cases.
In particular, if a connection gets opened and no request is received
at all just close the connection. If a connection is set to keep-alive
and a request was handled and no further request is coming in just
close the connection. The later is the usual cause for spurious log
messages and client confusion.
Reported over the years by many.
