Dear all,
I found a relevant diff between the original netcat tool and ncat out of nmap:

On sending out a http-request by netcat the connection is kept alive for a long period, and this supports receiving a http-response from the addressed counterpart.

With ncat the connection is closed after 1 sec., and the comm. counterpart is not able to send a http-response to the ncat requestor after that amount of time.


It would be useful to extend the options of ncat by a keep-alive time-val. and to keep the connection open for such given period to allow

While not exactly the same, would option --no-shutdown help in your situation?
