Found doing code inspection and testing based on crash reports. [Test Case] No specific trigger - just look for reduced reports on errors.ubuntu.com. [Regression Potential] Some risk of further breaking HTTP handling in snapd-glib. Updated algorithm tested in a test program run through valgrind to give confidence in the changes.
