Hmmm - this would be caused by confusion over whether the downstream connection was a keepalive connection or not, and how much data to read off the network. Looks like the proxy is trying to read till EOF on a downstream server that keepalives.

The logic for this goes:

• If the response has a content-length, read content-length bytes from the downstream server, and unless told otherwise, keepalive.
• If the response has a Transfer-Encoding of "chunk", add the DECHUNK filter to the input filters, which will only read as much from the network as it needs. Unless told otherwise, keepalive.
• Otherwise, read until EOF - no keepalive.

Is this logic correct?

No - I've confused this with something else... I think...
