>                 Key: PROTON-2189
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2189
>             Project: Qpid Proton
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: proton-c
>    Affects Versions: proton-c-0.30.0
>         Environment: To compile the clients install qpid-proton-c-devel and simply compile:
> gcc  -O2 -g -Wall -lqpid-proton -lm -o clogger clogger.c
> To reproduce my test, build qdrouterd and run it in the background.
> You need to have a consumer attached.  There is a test receiver client in the qdrouterd build in <build-dir>/tests/test-receiver.  This receiver is designed to handle streaming messages (by default sent to 'test-address')
> Run the consumer in the background then run each clogger (default params are fine).
> You should observe that clogger-reactor runs smoothly (use PN_TRACE_FRM=1 on qdrouterd as well).
> You'll see clogger-reactor send the message header, then nothing for awhile, then send the entire message. 
> Use "-D" for debug output to see how many bytes have been written to pn_link_send()
>            Reporter: Ken Giusti
>            Priority: Major

> I have a proactor-based C test client that has the ability to slowly send extremely large messages slowly.  This is done by sending 'chunks' of body data with pauses in between.
> This client was designed to test large streaming messages against qdrouterd.
> The behavior of this client is unexpected - I would expect the message data to appear "on the wire" in bursts relatively quickly.  In reality the data is buffered - in some cases over 1 GB is buffered - before it is written (as indicated by the lack @transfer frames dumped by the client AND the qdrouterd).  In some cases it takes up to 30 seconds before the client's data starts being written to the client.
> I've refactored the client to use reactor instead and the data flows as expected.  There is minimal buffering and no abnormally long pauses.
> The clients are attached.
> It is quite likely the proactor client is incorrectly implemented, but I used the qdrouterd I/O loop as the model and cannot see what may be wrong.
