Interestingly, The Squid FAQ almost seems to imply that closing the 
write-side can cause more file-descriptors to be used. Squid can 
apparently not tell the difference between half-closed and full-closed 
connections, and it makes matter worse.

Though I do not know this for sure, some reading on the subject suggests 
that nginx also doesn't like half-closed connections.
