[erlang-questions] gen_tcp and large HTTP headers

[Steve Vinoski]

Unfortunately, it appears that if you want to be completely safe and
handle long request lines like your example, then yes, calling
decode_packet is the only way to go. :-( I've stared at the inet
driver code some more and the way it's calling the packet parser just
doesn't allow it to be informed that a buffer is incomplete and more
data from the next packet is needed.
