[erlang-patches] ssh synchronous eof

[Daniel Goertzen]

When sending a large binary (say a couple of MB) followed by an eof through
an ssh channel using the following...


ssh_connection:send(Conn, Chan, BigBinary),
ssh_connection:send_eof(Conn, Chan),

... the eof is transmitted asynchronously and any untransmitted portion of
BigBinary will be lost.


The patch linked below puts eofs through the existing data-send path so
that all queued send data will be sent before the eof.

The data-send pathway previously only carried {DataType, Data} tuples; it
may now also carry 'eof' atoms.  To abstractly represent both in the code I
use the name "Cmd" (Command).


Tested on Windows.
