Does this change make the tests work?

If so, how come curl works fine on cygwin in general use without this fix?

Further, to discover that the connection is closed, we must read from the
connection. Why would we read from it if 'select_res' hasn't signalled that
there is data to read?

We need further details and research before we can do a wild patch like that.
