That won't work with the current code.  Right now, the thread who
gives the stream to you (via SEND-HEADERS) "owns" the stream and if
you kill it, you can't just keep the stream.

You'll have to invent your own connection manager class for that.  The
exact plumbing of what happens when when requests are handled is still
in flux, but I hope the current state will give you an idea.

It would definitely make sense to do this vs. the branch.  Hans is
currently on vacation and I'm busy with other things, so work on the
branch has stalled a bit, but there should be more activity in the
next weeks.  No planned release date yet.
