First of all thanks for your help.
I removed the "close" from that line (and also the TE in another
attempt), but that does not make a difference.  I even ran it under gdb
and put breakpoints on meth_close and meth_shutdown (the C functions
implementing socket:close() and socket:shutdown(), but they are not hit
and still getfd() returns -1 after the request.

The HTTP keepalive mechanism isn't supposed to keep connections opened for too long:
