Forcibly flushes the request headers. You need this with long-lived
HTTP connections where the first data isn't written until the connection
has been established (think: tunneling requests over HTTP CONNECT.)
Fixes#7296.

This allows automatically-inserted headers to be removed permanently by
calling OutgoingMessage.removeHeader() on them, as if they were normal
headers.
In other Writable streams, the 'finish' event means that all of the data
was written, and flushed to the underlying system.
The 'prefinish' event means that end() was called, and all of the data
was processed, but not necessarily completely flushed.
This change brings the http OutgoingMessage classes more in sync with
the other Writable classes throughout Node.
Unfortunately, this change highlights an issue with http
IncomingMessages, where the _dump() method will not actually pull the
data off the wire. This is a minor issue that is typically only
relevant in test cases, and will be addressed in the next commit.
This removes a dubious performance "optimization" where strings body
chunks were concatenated to one another (and to the headers) without any
regard for their encoding.
There was previously up to a second exit delay when exiting node
right after an http request/response, due to the utcDate() function
doing a setTimeout to update the cached date/time.
Fixing this should increase the performance of our http tests.
Forward-port the comments from commit 01e2920 (v0.10) to the master
branch. Everything else from that patch already exists in master.
It didn't merge cleanly because lib/http.js has been split up in
several files.
Fixes#3740
In the case of pipelined requests, you can have a situation where
the socket gets destroyed via one req/res object, but then trying
to destroy *another* req/res on the same socket will cause it to
call undefined.destroy(), since it was already removed from that
message.
Add a guard to OutgoingMessage.destroy and IncomingMessage.destroy
to prevent this error.
