The HTTP/1.0 protocol is stateless

After the server has responded to the client's request, the connection between client and server is dropped and forgotten. There is no "memory" between client connections. The pure HTTP server implementation treats every request as if it was brand-new (without context), i.e. not maintaining any connection information between transactions.
