Interim responses are by definition bodyless. But we must not set the corresponding HTX start-line flag, beecause the start-line of the final response is still expected. Setting the flag above too early may lead the multiplexer on the sending side to consider the message is finished after the headers of the interim message. It happens with the H2 multiplexer on frontend side if a "100-Continue" is received from the server. The interim response is sent and HTX_SL_F_BODYLESS_RESP flag is evaluated. Then, the headers of the final response are sent with ES flag, because HTX_SL_F_BODYLESS_RESP flag was seen too early, leading to a protocol error if the response has a body. Thanks to grembo for this analysis. This patch should fix the issue #2587. It must be backported as far as 2.9.
