And that is actually better than without the patch?

I read your original email again:

I disagree with the explanation for the cause and therefore also the
conclusion about what needs to be done. Can you provide any further details or
logs or anything that backs up your observations?

Could it possibly be so that the entire CONNECT request isn't sent in the
(only) send()? AFAIS, there's no code to send any remainders if it didn't sent
the entire chunk in one go...
