                the backend is available to rec' it. I understand the
                error described, but is the fix actually worth it (plus
                it seems to allow for a DDoS vector).
+     ylavic: It seems to me that the problem is real since we reuse the
+             connection before prefetching 16K (either controlled by the
+             client, or by an input filter), we currently always prefetch
+             these bytes already. Regarding performance I don't see any
+             difference (more cycles) compared with the current code.
+             However I think I failed to rebuild the header_brigade when
+             the proxy loop is retried (ping), so I need to rework this.
+             Do you think we'd better remove the prefetch, or maybe just
+             make it nonblocking (by default)?
