BUG/MEDIUM: httpclient: Xfer the request when the stream is created
Since the HTTP legacy mode was removed, it is unexpected to create an HTTP
stream without a valid request. Thanks to this change, the wait_for_request
analyzer was significatly simplified. And it is possible because HTTP
multiplexers already take care to have a valid request to create a stream.
But it means that any HTTP applet on the client side must do the same. The
httpclient client is one of them. And it is not a problem because the
request is generated before starting the applet. We must just take care to
set the right state.
For now it works "by chance", because the applet seems to be scheduled
before the stream itself. But if this change, this will lead to crash
because the stream expects to have a request when wait_for_request analyzer.
This patch should be backported to 2.5.
