I was doing a bit of testing with LWP and noticed an odd header I was getting back from Google. If you look at the headers Google gives back (try running this script) you'll see "Cneonction: Close".
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$res = $ua->get('http://www.google.com');
print $res->headers->as_string, "\n";
Whoops!

I wonder if that wasn't just some Google Tech's idea of a Matrix joke? See "neo" in there?

I'll bet they googled technical blogs every day with the new proposed google blog search to see when someone finally noticed it, then laughed hysterically and fixed it. :)
Cneonction header at amazon just now

OK, I just saw this too! What's going on?
My proxy server is occasionally showing a bogus header at amazon.com:
