David TurnerIn the event that a HTTP server closes the connection after giving a 200 but before giving any packets, we don't want to hang forever waiting for a response that will never come. Instead, we should die immediately.
One case where this happens is when attempting to fetch a dangling object by SHA.
Prior to this patch, fetch-pack would wait for more data from the server, and remote-curl would wait for fetch-pack, causing a deadlock.
Despite this patch, there is other possible malformed input that could cause the same deadlock (e.g. a half-finished pktline, or a pktline but no trailing flush). There are a few possible solutions to this:
1. Allowing remote-curl to tell fetch-pack about the EOF (so that fetch-pack could know that no more data is coming until it says something else). This is tricky because an out-of-band signal would be required, or the http response would have to be re-framed inside another layer of pkt-line or something.
2. Make remote-curl understand some of the protocol. It turns out that in addition to understanding pkt-line, it would need to watch for ack/nak. This is somewhat fragile, as information about the protocol would end up in two places. Also, pkt-lines which are already at the length limit would need special handling.
Both of these solutions would require a fair amount of work, whereas this hack is easy and solves at least some of the problem.
Still to do: it would be good to give a better error message than "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly".
