A client that sends complete headers and then stalls or trickles the body keeps the worker waiting until it disconnects.\n\nA remote attacker can take every worker with a few such connections, five with the default worker count, so the server stops answering requests.\n\nVersion 0.4019 applies read_timeout to each wait for body data and adds a body_timeout limit, 300 seconds by default, on the total time to read a body."
