Same thing. Http has no keep alive feature, you don't send http keep alive requests, if http 1.1 asks for keepalives it's a tcp thing.

They are distinct in Go. The standard library uses "HTTP keep-alive" to mark connections as idle based on most recent HTTP request, whereas TCP keep-alive checks only ACKs.

http 2.0 has keep alive!
