[erlang-questions] 8k limit on gen_tcp:recv?

[Bob Ippolito]

Since this is definitely not clear in the question, the code would
look something like this:

    inet:setopts(Socket, [{packet, http}]),
    case gen_tcp:recv(Socket, 0, ?IDLE_TIMEOUT) of
        {ok, {http_request, Method, Path, Version}} ->
            headers(Socket, {Method, Path, Version}, [], Body, 0)
    end.

Rachel - how about providing a reproducible test case and making it an
issue in the mochiweb project? There might be some continuation
response from recv that mochiweb doesn't currently expect to receive.
