check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
A client that stops sending with little of its body left after the app has answered is timed out (closes #136)
When less than 256 KiB of a client's body is left after the app has
answered, the rest is read by closing the body, which the transport,
ReverseProxy and Go's server each do, not through requestBody.Read.
waiting was then false, so a request timeout that ran out took the 504
branch, which set no read deadline, and the request held its connection
for as long as the client kept it open. Once the app has answered, that
branch now ends reading the client's body at once, whichever of
SWWAF_CLIENT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT and SWWAF_UPSTREAM_REQUEST_TIMEOUT ran out.
