This is to make our push replication side more robust. It's a good thing
the server behaved in this new way, as it let us discover this case. In
theory, replication protocol should be working with other (non-couchdb) servers
and it needs to be robust. We can treat the two issues -- "http replication
client robustness", and "server closing connection too quickly" as separate.
