Thanks for the patch and explanation.

In the past, I've used response_body.close in middleware for
similar things, and nowadays Rack::BodyProxy exists in rack, too.

So I'm a little skeptical if this is actually needed, but it's
probably too late to do anything about:

Citation(s) needed.  Also, are there any proposal(s) to get this
into the Rack specification?

While I can't participate in discussions which requires a
GUI (JS/CAPTCHA) or accepting certain Terms-of-service,
the rack-devel@googlegroups.com mailing list still exists
and I can chime in there.

rack.early_hints could probably be in the Rack spec, too...

More below...

I'll have to squash the following in, since an exception can be
raised if a client truncates the request:

diff --git a/lib/unicorn/http_server.rb b/lib/unicorn/http_server.rb
index 9889f55c..c0f14ba5 100644
--- a/lib/unicorn/http_server.rb

   end
 
   def nuke_listeners!(readers)

Everything else seems OK.  Thanks.
