Closing connection on client half close, not allowing response.

[kbaston]

Long story short

A http client sends a request to aiohttp and immediately sends a fin, closing their side of the connection. Aiohttp calls the handler to generate the response, but closes the connection rather than sending it.

This is caused by eol_received returning None, as per Protocol. Having this function return True, fixes this issue.

I haven't been able to find any issues with this fix, even cleanly closing the connection after the response. But I am no expert on aiohttp.

Expected behavior

aiohttp sends the response to the client and then closes the connection. The client.py prints the headers of the response.

Actual behavior

aiohttp closes the connection without sending the response. client.py simply prints:

Received b''

Steps to reproduce

client.py ( it only prints the headers of the response on success, but sufficient for this) :

import socket

HOST = '127.0.0.1'
PORT = 8080
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(b'GET / HTTP/0.9\r\n\r\n')
    s.shutdown(socket.SHUT_WR)
    data = s.recv(1025)
print('Received', repr(data))

server.py:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import web

async def handle(request):
    print("handling request: {}".format(request))
    asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # ensure the fin shows up.
    return web.Response(text="Hello")

app = web.Application()
app.add_routes([web.get('/', handle)])
web.run_app(app)

Run server.py first then client.py on the same machine.

Your environment

aiohttp as a server
aiohttp version 3.5.4
Reproduced on Ubuntu and OSX. Python 3.6.5.

Your code at client.py shoudnt to loop through the recv until receive nothing? It worked here with something like this:

HOST = '127.0.0.1'
PORT = 8080
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(b'GET / HTTP/0.9\r\n\r\n')
    chunk = s.recv(1025)
    result = chunk
    s.shutdown(socket.SHUT_WR)

    while len(chunk) > 0:
        data = s.recv(1025)
        result += chunk

print('Received', repr(result))

Besides that, I think you forgot to await the call to asyncio.sleep(0.1) in the server.py file.

The actual client I have the issue isn't written in python, I was just wrote that script to have a repro script with a half close before the receive.

Though I'll pay I missed await on the sleep. But both of these were quick scripts and are just for reproducing the issue of closing the server side after a client half close.
