Just a simple hack to remove [Connection header](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields#Connection) from HTTP(S) response.

Similar to [remove_date](https://github.com/hex7c0/remove_date/)

## API

inside nodejs project

```js

require('http').createServer(function(req, res) {

  setConnection(res); // remove Connection header from response

  res.writeHead(200, {

    'Content-Type': 'text/plain'

  });

  res.end('Hello World\n');

}).listen(3000, '127.0.0.1');

```

as middleware

```js

var setConnection = require('remove_connection').setConnectionMiddleware;

var app = require('express')();

app.use(setConnection()).get('/', function(req, res) {

  res.end('Hello World\n');

}).listen(3000, '127.0.0.1');
