[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/http: fix chunked response w/ multiple_requests=1

[Aman Gupta]

From: Aman Gupta <aman at tmm1.net>

Currently if you use the multiple_requests=1 option and try to receive a
chunked-encoded response, http_buf_read() will hang forever.

After this patch, EOF is emulated once a 0-byte final chunk is
received by setting a new flag. This flag is reset in ff_http_do_new_request(),
which is used to make additional requests on the open socket.
