+<p>The <strong><code>Connection</code></strong> general header controls whether or not the network connection stays open after the current transaction finishes. If the value sent is <code>keep-alive</code>, the connection is persistent and not closed, allowing for subsequent requests to the same server to be done.</p>
+
+<div class="blockIndicator warning">
+<p>Connection-specific header fields such as {{HTTPHeader("Connection")}} and {{HTTPHeader("Keep-Alive")}} are <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.2">prohibited in HTTP/2</a>. Chrome and Firefox ignore them in HTTP/2 responses, but Safari conforms to the HTTP/2 spec requirements and won’t load any response which contains them.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>Except for the standard hop-by-hop headers ({{HTTPHeader("Keep-Alive")}}, {{HTTPHeader("Transfer-Encoding")}}, {{HTTPHeader("TE")}}, {{HTTPHeader("Connection")}}, {{HTTPHeader("Trailer")}}, {{HTTPHeader("Upgrade")}}, {{HTTPHeader("Proxy-Authorization")}} and {{HTTPHeader("Proxy-Authenticate")}}), any hop-by-hop headers used by the message must be listed in the <code>Connection</code> header, so that the first proxy knows it has to consume them and not forward them further. Standard hop-by-hop headers can be listed too (it is often the case of {{HTTPHeader("Keep-Alive")}}, but this is not mandatory).</p>
