Recommended way to disable keepalive connections is to use,
keepalive_timeout with the zero value:

keepalive_timeout 0;

See http://nginx.org/r/keepalive_timeout.

Though "keepalive_requests 1" should work too.

The "Connection: close" header will be automatically added to the
response if keepalive is disabled.
