Agree with Remy. If 'connection: close' is sent by the client, then
tomcat needs to close the connection on the end of the response. So
sending the results via chunked encoding is extra overhead which is not
needed.
A good argument to add is chunked encoding would that it gives the
client the best guess on whether the entire response was returned (by
receiving the last full chunk). But that argument is weak.

Seems reasonable but I'd like to hear from some of the other committers
before making any changes.
If the change is made, it needs to be made for all connectors, not just
the BIO connector.
It is not needed in the spec and is more expensive, as closing the
connection is one of the valid content delimitation methods.
His reverse proxy argument is probably the worst one: "connection:
close" does not land in the response by accident, it is added for good
reason. This is just begging for hacks at this point.
