The upstream module change request handlers, not connection ones.  
And appropriate request handlers will be set by 
ngx_http_set_write_handler() during request finalization.

For client keepalive connections needed (connection) handlers will 
be set by ngx_http_set_keepalive().

See ngx_http_request.c for more details.
