Where in the RFC do you see the MUST? The closest thing that I can find in the
HTTP/1.0 RFC is that "except for experimental setups, current practise
requires that the server closes the connection after sending the response".

And further in the text, it is said that if Content-Length is present in the
reply, the header field is used to determine the end of the reply, not the end
of the connection.
