[Libevent-users] Libevent HTTP and pipeline mode

[Anton Zem <handychess@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found that libebvent's HTTP Server cannot work properly in pipelined mode. The problem is in code

   if (req->ntoread == 0) {

        bufferevent_disable(evcon->bufev, EV_READ);

        /* Completed content length */

        evhttp_connection_done(evcon);

        return;

    }

in pipeline mode the req->ntoread go negative (previous request eat too much of data by eating start of the next request), and connection is in unusable state. No more handlers ever called and connection is not dropped. I think it is rather strange that libevent's HTTP is so archaic. Are there any plans to implement the modern HTTP with pipelining?

Best regards
