The THTTPApplication is part of the standalone "HTTP server Application"
(default project) of the weblazextra package. There is no apache server
involved.

There is no difference if I user http 1.0, http 1.1 or if I set
"Connection: close".

It is also impossible to send a second request over the open connection.

I just created an empty HTTP server Application project, defined an
default action and tested this with 
  telnet localhost 8080
  GET / HTTP/1.0
