BUG/MEDIUM: mux-h1: Fix splicing by properly detecting end of message
Since the 2.4.4, the splicing support in the H1 multiplexer is buggy because
end of the message is not properly detected.
On the 2.4, when the requests is spliced, there is no issue. But when the
response is spliced, the client connection is always closed at the end of the
message. Note the response is still fully sent.
On the 2.5 and higher, when the last requests on a connection is spliced, a
client abort is reported. For other requests there is no issue. In all cases,
the requests are fully sent. When the response is spliced, the server connection
hangs till the server timeout and a server abort is reported. The response is
fully sent with no delay.
The root cause is the EOM block suppression. There is no longer extra block to
be sure to call a last time rcv_buf()/snd_buf() callback functions. At the end,
to fix the issue, we must now detect end of the message in rcv_pipe() and
snd_pipe() callback functions. To do so, we rely on the announced message length
to know when the payload is finished. This works because the chunk-encoded
messages are not spliced.
This patch must be backported as far as 2.4 after an observation period.
