Is it possible to disable Keep-Alive on a directory basis?
For example, I have an API that runs on something like domain.com/api/
It'd be nice if KeepAlive was not used on any requests in the /api/ directory.
Update/Solution:
SetEnvIf Request_URI /api/ nokeepalive

However, the default setting for Apache Keepalive Timeout is 15 seconds. In computer terms, this is an eternity. If it takes 2 seconds to load a webpage, then, the slot is active for 2 seconds, serving requests, and then waits 15 seconds longer, waiting to see if the user needs anything else.
To enable Keep-Alive, you need to explicitly request it via the HTTP header by accessing . htaccess or the main configuration file of your web server. If you turn on Keep-Alive, the HTTP response header will show Connection: keep-alive.
This seems to be a recent feature of Apache HTTPD, but it works.
To disable (turn off) Keep-Alive for a specific directory, use:
SetEnvIf Request_URI /myDir/ nokeepalive
Add this to your httpd.conf or .htaccess file!

There are 2 ways I found:
1. As described by acdcjunior you can do it with SetEnvIf inside your Virtual host or main configuration
SetEnvIf Request_URI /myDir/ nokeepalive
2. You can just set the Connection header to close
Header set Connection "close"
I prefer the second option due to the fact that this will allow the entire configuration to be under the
