[pve-devel] [PATCH http-server 07/10] support streaming data form fh to client

[Stefan Reiter]

Use an explicit AnyEvent::Handle similar to websocket proxying.

Needs some special care to make sure we apply backpressure correctly to
avoid caching too much data. Note that because of AnyEvent restrictions,
specifying a "fh" to point to a file or a packet-based socket may result
in unwanted behaviour[0].
