I was testing imap downloads on windows and I noticed that curl hangs on fetch for a particular sized file on a SSL connection. The library was built against schannel, and I was testing against Outlook's imap server.

Upon debugging I saw that the size of the file was small enough that the entirety of the transfer happened in a single go and schannel buffers held entire data. However, it wasn't completely read in Curl_pp_readresp since a line break was found before that could happen. So, by the time we are in imap_state_fetch_resp - there's data in buffers that needs to be read via Curl_read but nothing to read from the socket. After we setup a transfer (Curl_setup_transfer), curl just waits on the socket state to change - which doesn't happen since no new data ever comes.

I saw CURL_CSELECT_IN was used to mark that the socket is readable, so made that change before transfer setup and it seems to fix the issue.

Seems reasonable and innocuous enough to me!
