Just to clarify - does this mean that ap_get_brigade() with a readbytes
of zero will always return a single line (CRLF terminated), without the
need to call it repeatedly until a complete line is returned?
Is there a guaranteed minumim length that will be returned? ie is it
reasonable to assume that if ap_get_brigade() was called once, and you
were expecting a status line or a header line, you would get the whole
line unless the line is ridiculously long? If so I can simplify the
proxy code.
Regards,
Graham

It works the exact same way that it used to work, except that instead of
filling out c->remain, you pass the value down the stack.

There are no garauntees about how much data is actually returned. It is
also not possible to make any garauntees about this. What happens if the
client doesn't send a full line of data. We still have to return what we
got.
