Closing the connection
----------------------
HTTP/1.1 keep-alive allows clients to send more than one request
on the same connection. This can be useful for speeding up the
loading of webpages, but is not required. You can tell Cowboy
explicitly that you want to close the connection by setting the
`Connection` header to `close`.
``` erlang
{ok, Req2} = cowboy_req:reply(200,
[{<<"connection">>, <<"close">>}],
Req).
```
