+   If the client is sending data, a server implementation using TCP
+   &SHOULD; be careful to ensure that the client acknowledges receipt of
+   the packet(s) containing the response, before the server closes the
+   input connection. If the client continues sending data to the server
+   after the close, the server's TCP stack will send a reset packet to
+   the client, which might erase the client's unacknowledged input buffers
+   before they can be read and interpreted by the HTTP application.
