+Summary: Remoting server doesn't close HTTP connection
+
+Description of Problem:
+A remoting server does not close its HTTP connections, even if an HTTP 1.0 request is made. 
+HTTP 1.0 clients (such as PHP's URL wrappers) don't expect to have to close connections 
+themselves and will hang at the end of data until they time out. This poses a significant 
+interoperability problem for SOAP or XML-RPC servers.
+
+The problem can be demonstrated by manually connecting with a telnet client.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Start up a SOAP remoting server with RemotingConfiguration on port 1234
+2. telnet localhost 1234
+3. Type "GET /aslfkdjfd HTTP/1.0" and hit enter twice
+
+Actual Results:
+The server returns an HTTP response with a formatted SOAP error message. Although there is a 
+'Connection: Close' header, the connection remains open.
+
+Expected Results:
+At the end of the message the server should close the connection, at which point telnet will exit 
+automatically.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Mono 1.1.8 installed from linux binary package. Also tested 1.1.8.1 .dmg package on Mac OS X 
+10.4.1 with same results.
