Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a way of terminating a connection to a website.
I know that we can view the current connections using the netstat command.
Can I terminate a particular connection manually.
 
Connections to a website are not "constant" anyway. Every page-view and
every "mouse-click" is an entirely new connection. There is also a
Time-to-Live set on every connection and it automatically breaks after the
time is up regaurdless. I believe the default TTL is 20 seconds but I could
be confusing that number with something else.

Any monitoring "tools" that show a constant connection to a webserver are
only "guessing" because HTTP is a stateless protocol and the connection time
cannot truely be monitored with exactness. So you may be wanting to do
something based on a misconception of what it really happening.
