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.
