### Description

Sets callback for connection close.

### Parameters

### Return Values

No value is returned.

### Examples

Example #1 EventHttpConnection::setCloseCallback() example

`<?php
/*
* Setting up close-connection callback
*
* The script handles closed connections using HTTP API.
*
* Usage:
* 1) Launch the server:
* $ php examples/http_closecb.php 4242
*
* 2) Launch a client in another terminal. Telnet-like
* session should look like the following:
*
* $ nc -t 127.0.0.1 4242
* GET / HTTP/1.0
* Connection: close
*
* The server will output something similar to the following:
*
* HTTP/1.0 200 OK
* Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=boundarydonotcross
* Connection: close
*
* <html>
*
* 3) Terminate the client connection abruptly,
* i.e. kill the process, or just press Ctrl-C.
*
* 4) Check if the server called _close_callback.
* The script should output "_close_callback" string to standard output.
*
* 5) Check if the server's process has no orphaned connections,
* e.g. with `lsof` utility.

/*
By enabling Event::READ we protect the server against unclosed conections.
This is a peculiarity of Libevent. The library disables Event::READ events
on this connection, and the server is not notified about terminated
connections.
So each time client terminates connection abruptly, we get an orphaned
connection. For instance, the following is a part of `lsof -p $PID | grep TCP`
command after client has terminated connection:
57-php 15057 ruslan 6u unix 0xffff8802fb59c780 0t0 125187 socket
58:php 15057 ruslan 7u IPv4 125189 0t0 TCP *:4242 (LISTEN)
59:php 15057 ruslan 8u IPv4 124342 0t0 TCP localhost:4242->localhost:37375 (CLOSE_WAIT)
where $PID is our process ID.
The following block of code fixes such kind of orphaned connections.
