Hangs on HEAD requests with null response body #10
Description
Hi Louis,
I've been working on an OWIN-based app that needs to respond to HEAD requests. By the HTTP/1.1 spec a HEAD request must not have a response body but the headers should be the same as if it were a GET request.
With keep-alive connections, Firefly hangs (as of 7d3492e) when I pass a null response body. Passing a null body is allowed for by the draft 5 OWIN spec and is required when hosting on Kayak. I think it makes sense for Firefly to handle a null response body.
Passing a body which just calls end(null) works, so for now I've implemented a small middleware component for running with Firefly.
Many thanks for Firefly - it's proving very useful for testing my async handling and I'm getting good performance from it.
