When dealing with EOH block, we must be sure to force the close mode for message with no payload but annoncing a non-null content-length. It is mainly an issue on the server side but it could be encountered on client side too. Without this fix, a request can be switched to the DONE state while the server is still expecting the payload. In an ideal world, this case should not happen. But in conjunction with other bugs, it may lead to a desynchro between haproxy and the server. Now, when a non-null content-length is announced but we know we reached the end of the message, we force the close mode. The only exception is for bodyless responses (204s, 304s and responses to head requests). Thanks to Martino Spagnuolo (r3verii) for his detailed report on this issue. This patch must be backported to all stable version.
