Description

Looking through the source code of mod_reqtimeout, I saw that it uses the short-lingering-close request note to considerably shorten the potential duration of a lingering connection close:
https://github.com/apache/httpd/blob/trunk/modules/filters/mod_reqtimeout.c#L329-L335

I did not see this note being used in ModSecurity, though I'm not sure whether this is even applicable for ModSecurity or whether ModSecurity foregoes the lingering close completely.
