handle servers closing encoded connections correctly
Servers who advertise that they close the connection get the 'Closes' encoding flag, but this conflicts with servers who response with a transfer-encoding (e.g. encoding) as it is saved in the same flag. We have a better flag for the keep-alive (or not) of the connection anyway, so we check this instead of the encoding. This is in practice not much of a problem as real servers we talk to are HTTP1.1 servers (with keep-alive) and there isn't much point in doing chunked encoding if you are going to close anyway, but our simple testserver stumbles over this if pressed and its a bit cleaner, too.
