Re: [PATCH] remote-curl: don't hang when a server dies before any output

So I don't feel like we have a good patch for the general case yet, and
I'm probably not going to get around to implementing it anytime soon. So
I'd suggest taking David's original patch (to punt when the response is
empty) in the meantime.

Yup, we are on the same page; the above matches what I wrote in the
draft of the next issue of What's cooking report last night.

I do think the commit message could be improved based on the discussion
here, though (at the very least to describe the nature of the deadlock,
and that we are choosing only one of the possible solutions, and why).

Thanks.  That sounds sensible.
