    net/http: relax recently-updated rules and behavior of CloseNotifier · 4b0bc7c3
    Brad Fitzpatrick authored
    The CloseNotifier implementation and documentation was
    substantially changed in https://golang.org/cl/17750 but it was a bit
    too aggressive.
    
    Issue #13666 highlighted that in addition to breaking external
    projects, even the standard library (httputil.ReverseProxy) didn't
    obey the new rules about not using CloseNotifier until the
    Request.Body is fully consumed.
    
    So, instead of fixing httputil.ReverseProxy, dial back the rules a
    bit. It's now okay to call CloseNotify before consuming the request
    body. The docs now say CloseNotifier may wait to fire before the
    request body is fully consumed, but doesn't say that the behavior is
    undefined anymore. Instead, we just wait until the request body is
    consumed and start watching for EOF from the client then.
    
    This CL also adds a test to ReverseProxy (using a POST request) that
    would've caught this earlier.
    
    Fixes #13666
