      2.4.x patch: trunk works (module CHANGES)
      +1: ylavic, jim
+     trawick: Eric and I were working through this and I (at least) ran into this
+              particular roadblock: output_failed sometimes means that we couldn't
+              write to the client and sometimes means that we couldn't read from
+              the client; laster, output_fails triggers setting the status to 400.
+              HTTP status shouldn't be 400 for a problem writing to the client.
+              (Maybe I missed some guarantee that 400 is only for an error reading
+              enough request body??)  I think it would be good to separate output_failed
+              from input_failed so that the code is more clear and we can more
+              easily tell that the status code is appropriate.  (And unfortunately
+              I don't volunteer to test it :( )
 
    * core: Add ap_errorlog_provider to make ErrorLog logging modular. This
            backport keeps syslog logging as part of httpd core and only adds
