Httpd_NotModified always closes the socket. This is
not necessary, and slows the server down (and also
somewhat obviates the benefits of NotModified by
introducing latency in the reconnection.)

I suspect this behavior was introduced to avoid
confusing browsers which reject the (non-standard)
message-body Httpd_NotModified sends.
