Thanks for this suggestion. I started exploring this option today. The 
keepalive directive is used to set the keepalive field on the request 
struct in the find_config_phase before we have the content. The 
Connection header is later added in a filter. If I need to make 
keepalive_disable have variable support that can use the $http_ 
variables (or something else that depends on the content), I need to do 
this after we have the content and before the filter.

Should I continue down this path, or am I misunderstanding what you mean 
here?
