Details

As keep-alive connections keep/are bound to some information of a sensitive character and that information might become invalid during their lifetime, we have to close them when that happens. For example, when user enters a different NTLM credentials or logs out or invalidates a certificate used for SSL connection, the connection should be dropped and banned from reuse. This might be a solution to bug 556291, bug 559186 and at least partial, but significant, to bug 471995.
Let's try to solve this with using the recently added LOAD_FRESH_CONNECTION load flag.
