Or should it be closed explicitly by the app?

Handlers should definitely /not/ close the stream themselves. Hunchentoot is supposed to do the right thing depending on the headers sent back and forth between the client and the server - sometimes it will close the stream, sometimes it won't. You can check with Drakma (for example) if that really happens, but I think it does.
