README and SPEC say when a client too slow to send its request line or headers is answered 400 (closes #138)

When SWWAF_CLIENT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT runs out partway through a line, Go's
server reads the part that arrived as the whole line. If that part cannot
be read as a line, it answers 400; otherwise it closes the connection
without an answer. The README's "Request log" and SPEC's size and time
limits said such a client always gets no answer, and the README's summary
of answers gave 408, which is only for a slow body.
