Eventlet green threads not released back to pool
Presently, the wsgi server allows persist connections hence even after
the response is sent to the client, it doesn't close the client socket
connection.
Because of this problem, the green thread is not released back to the pool.
In order to close the client socket connection explicitly after the
response is sent and read successfully by the client, you simply have to
set keepalive to False when you create a wsgi server.
Add a parameter to take advantage of the new(ish) eventlet socket timeout
behaviour. Allows closing idle client connections after a period of
time, eg:
$ time nc localhost 8776
real 1m0.063s
Setting 'client_socket_timeout = 0' means do not timeout.
DocImpact:
Added wsgi_keep_alive option (default=None).
Added client_socket_timeout option (default=None).
