Before the introduction of "keepalive_requests" and 
"keepalive_timeout" directives in 1.15.3, upstream connections 
were simply kept open by nginx, regardless of the number of 
requests made in these connections, or the time these connections 
were idle.  Connections were closed when the upstream server 
decided to close them, or when a connection was evicted from the 
cache by other connections.
