On: The reason behind the "nnCoection" HTTP header

[piotrSikora]

Those "misspelled" Connection headers (nnCoection, Cneonction, X-Cnection, etc) are used by load balancers (Citrix NetScaler, F5 BIG-IP, etc).

IMHO better explanation is available here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/6000/900/sol...

I work for Citrix Netscaler, and can confirm this. It is the most efficient of invalidating one of the standard headers.
