https_client example why is Connection: close required?

morerook

I am working through the https_client example with the nRF9160 and I noticed that when Connection: close is not included, the connection doesn't close, but if I attempt to replicate the request in Postman, there is no such line and it still completes with a 200 status.

#define HTTP_HEAD                                                              \
    "HEAD / HTTP/1.1\r\n"                                                   \
    "Host: " HTTPS_HOSTNAME "\r\n"                                      \
    "Accept: */*\r\n"                                                       \
    "Connection: close\r\n\r\n"                                                

I have also noticed that in the Host line in the https_client example it includes the port, but I try to do the same in Postman the server sends an error message such as a 400 error or resets the connection in the case of example.com. What is different about the HTTP request that the nRF9160 is sending compared to my browser or Postman?
