Description:
------------
There may be a problem with enabling pipelining on a request 
pool, when one of the requests returns a 404. 

It seems to completely lock up Apache2.0 (Win32), and only a 
restart seems to free it.

Not enabling pipelining works fine.





Reproduce code:
---------------
$pool = new HttpRequestPool();
$pool->enablePipelining(true);
$requests = array();
foreach($urls as $url)
{
	$r = new HttpRequest($url);

	$r->addHeaders($headers);
	if (isset($request['Cookie']) && $request['Cookie'])
		$r->addCookies($request['Cookie']);

	$requests[$url] = $r;
	$pool->attach($r);
}

$pool->send();



Expected result:
----------------
Apache not to hang.

Actual result:
--------------
Some requests are returned, as seen by watching via a 
debugging reverse proxy (Fiddler2). But the 404 url and any 
other uncompleted requests don't appear to happen.

What's your pecl_http and libcurl version (excerpt of phpinfo)? 

...and please provide complete reproduce scripts.
 [2008-10-29 08:23 UTC] Jared dot Williams1 at ntlworld dot com
curl: libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8i zlib/1.2.3
pecl_http: 1.6.1-dev

Both the latest compiled versions I can find for Windows. 

Complete scripts to reproduce looks like its going to take some time. Reduced 
my code to the relevant bits, and now pecl/http is throwing HttpInvalidParamExceptions.

No idea what its complaining about.

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Uncaught exception 'HttpRequestPoolException' with message

Even though Apache2, as viewed from Fiddler2 is serving the content fine.

Please provide a complete reproduce script and it would help a lot if you could give me an endpoint (maybe privately) to test myself.

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

I experienced the error "Empty or too short HTTP message" as well. However then I found the workaround: Just call 

http_persistent_handles_clean()

before each sent HttpRequest. This solution has minimized the amount of errors to minimum for me (Win32, PHP 5.3).
