Significance of "connection close" in LTM Monitor send string

Below is the monitor we have on our LTM and they're on version 12.0, I want to understand the send string and the significance of "127.0.0.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n" connection close. Any body know what it means ?

 

ltm monitor https test_https { adaptive disabled cipherlist DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH compatibility enabled defaults-from https destination : interval 10 recv wsdl:definitions recv-disable none send "GET /test.html HTTP/1.1\r\nUser-Agent: \r\nHost: 127.0.0.1\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n" timeout 31

    when working with HTTP/1.1, you can allow multiple HTTP requests within the same TCP connection.

     

    if the server default behavior is to keep the TCP connection opened for next requests, the server won't close the monitor connection until timeout.

     

    this header tells server to close connection after response.
