What did you do?

http.Transport struct has DisableKeepAlives field and its description says it's related to TCP connection re-use like TCP Keep-alive.

type Transport struct {
...
	// DisableKeepAlives, if true, prevents re-use of TCP connections
	// between different HTTP requests.
	DisableKeepAlives bool
}

But it's actually related to HTTP Keep-alive not TCP Keep-alive. I've found that if it is set to true, then HTTP request header will have "Connection:Close".

net/http/transport.go around 1997 line.

...
	if pc.t.DisableKeepAlives {
		req.extraHeaders().Set("Connection", "close")
	}
...

If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
A complete runnable program is good.
A link on play.golang.org is best.

What did you expect to see?

The description about DisableKeepAlive field should be modified. It could make misunderstanding.

What did you see instead?
