What is the proxying server supposed to do instead ?Or, take this another way : suppose the proxy server isn't there, and the client connects directly to the final server. What do you think happens then, that is any different ? If the client goes away while the server is busy generating the response (say, consulting a database), the server will also notice only when it tries to send something to the client, through the now useless socket.
Or, yet another way : there is no "interrupt" generated when the client goes away, which would enable the server to notice the fact, before it tries to write to, or read from, the client socket.
