Hi,

I have come across what seems to be a bug in http implementation, where an
http server does not detect closed connections until the next time it
attempts to write something.

After some investigation I found the issue in evhttp_write_buffer() from
http.c. There is a comment there that says:
"We don't disable reading, since we *do* want to learn about any close
events"

However reading is already disabled so it needs to be enabled for close
events to be sent. Once I enabled reading the above problem was solved and
the http server was able to properly detect connections closed by the
client and send a close event.

I am new to libevent, happy to send a patch if desirable but first wanted
to run it by someone.

Best,

Ronen Mizrahi
