net/http: restore Transport's Request.Body byte sniff in limited cases
In Go 1.8, we'd removed the Transport's Request.Body
one-byte-Read-sniffing to disambiguate between non-nil Request.Body
with a ContentLength of 0 or -1. Previously, we tried to see whether a
ContentLength of 0 meant actually zero, or just an unset by reading a
single byte of the Request.Body and then stitching any read byte back
together with the original Request.Body.
That historically has caused many problems due to either data races,
blocking forever (#17480), or losing bytes (#17071). Thus, we removed
it in both HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 in Go 1.8. Unfortunately, during the Go
1.8 beta, we've found that a few people have gotten bitten by the
behavior change on requests with methods typically not containing
request bodies (e.g. GET, HEAD, DELETE). The most popular example is
the aws-go SDK, which always set http.Request.Body to a non-nil value,
even on such request methods. That was causing Go 1.8 to send such
requests with Transfer-Encoding chunked bodies, with zero bytes,
confusing popular servers (including but limited to AWS).
This CL partially reverts the no-byte-sniffing behavior and restores
it only for GET/HEAD/DELETE/etc requests, and only when there's no
Transfer-Encoding set, and the Content-Length is 0 or -1.
Updates #18257 (aws-go) bug
And also private bug reports about non-AWS issues.
Updates #18407 also, but haven't yet audited things enough to declare
it fixed.
