It's important point to note that connection management in HTTP applies to the connection between two consecutive nodes, which is [hop-by-hop](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers) and not [end-to-end](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers). The model used in connections between a client and its first proxy may differ from the model between a proxy and the destination server (or any intermediate proxies). The HTTP headers involved in defining the connection model, like {{HTTPHeader("Connection")}} and {{HTTPHeader("Keep-Alive")}}, are [hop-by-hop](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers) headers with their values able to be changed by intermediary nodes.

A related topic is the concept of HTTP connection upgrades, wherein an HTTP/1.1 connection is upgraded to a different protocol, such as TLS/1.0, WebSocket, or even HTTP/2 in cleartext. This [protocol upgrade mechanism](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Protocol_upgrade_mechanism) is documented in more detail elsewhere.
