BUG/MEDIUM: lua: HTTP services must take care of body-less status codes
The following Lua code causes emission of a final chunk after the body,
which is wrong :
core.register_service("send204", "http", function(applet)
applet:set_status(204)
applet:start_response()
end)
Indeed, responses with status codes 1xx, 204 and 304 do not contain any
body and the message ends immediately after the empty header (cf RFC7230)
so by emitting a 0<CR><LF> we're disturbing keep-alive responses. There's
a workaround against this for now which consists in always emitting
"Content-length: 0" but it may not be cool with 304 when clients use
the headers to update their cache.
This fix must be backported to stable versions back to 1.6.
