Feature req. - HTTP 1.1 to backends

[meto]

I know this subject was brought up by many others, but i'd like to make an official request for this feature. The disability of using keep-alives with backends is a little bit disturbing and it would be grate to do so.
Igor, are you planning to introduce this functionality in the closest future? Or is there something more exciting that you plan to add? :)

Maciek
