keep alive http header in node tests

[itachi880]

just try to don't use keep alive you can just add a middleware that gose like nodejs app.use((req, res, next) => { res.setHeader('Connection', 'close'); next(); });

@itachi880 ok, are there any performance implications? what's the benefit?

[itachi880]

in normal situations when http req is sent the server response contain the keep alive wich indecate that the http connection shold still open a bit after the response is sent and the aditional automatic header set by default in express add some overhead on the network and the part where creating the header thats why in you benchmark you see node js with express sent a larger responses than go
