[issue16833] httpc.lient delayed ack / Nagle algorithm optimisation performs badly for large messages

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Thanks for the patch. Perhaps our MSS value should be an upper bound of common values? Apparently for a localhost connection TCP_MAXSEG gives 16384 here (but I don't know if the http.client optimization is important for localhost connections).

Also, it would be nice to add an unit test in Lib/test/test_httplib.py.
