DESCRIPTION

       This function calls the connection's communication driver to close the connection if it is
       not already closed.  It always returns NS_OK.

       If the connection is marked for keep-alive, the  underlying  connection  is  not  actually
       closed  but  instead returned to the driver thread to process additional requests, if any.
       Connections are automatically marked for keep-alive by setting the NS_CONN_KEEPALIVE  flag
       if  the  client  supports  it by sending an appropriate connection-keepalive header.  Keep
       alive can be disabled before a  call  to  Ns_ConnClose  with  the  Ns_ConnSetKeepAliveFlag
       routine with a zero value for the flag argument.
