Section 6.3 says:
o If the received protocol is HTTP/1.0, the "keep-alive" connection option is present, the recipient is not a proxy, and the recipient wishes to honor the HTTP/1.0 "keep-alive" mechanism, the connection will persist after the current response; otherwise,
It should say:
o If the received protocol is HTTP/1.0, the "keep-alive" connection option is present in a message that is not a request to a proxy, and the recipient wishes to honor the HTTP/1.0 "keep-alive" mechanism, the connection will persist after the current response; otherwise,
Notes:
The correction makes it clearer that the reference is meant to be client-to-proxy and not proxy-to-server.
