This means that the server closed the connection. Are you setting
HTTP/1.1 in the request? For HTTP/1.1 the default is to enable
keep-alive. But for 1.0 the default is to close the connection. It
sounds like your connection is being closed after one request. Beast
definitely supports keep-alive, so this is certainly user error.
Please inspect the request/response messages taking place and post
them on the list unmodified (use a wire sniffer for this if necessary)
if you are still having problems.

Thanks
