sneak 4788c06380 README and SPEC say a client too slow to send its request line and headers may get an error answer (closes #138)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
A client too slow to send its request line and headers within
SWWAF_CLIENT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT gets either no answer or an error answer
from Go's server, mostly 400 Bad Request; either way its connection is
closed, nothing reaches the app, and no request log line is written.
The README's "Request log" and SPEC's size and time limits said such a
client always gets no answer. Both documents' summaries of
smallwebwaf's own answers now cover only limits passed after the
request line and headers have been read, and give 408 only for a slow
body; SPEC names Go's server as the one answering 431.
