> Before Asterisk sends an HTTP response (at least in the case of errors), it attempts to read & discard the content of the request. If the client lies about the Content-Length, or the connection is closed from the client side before "Content-Length" bytes are sent, the request handling thread will busy loop. I tracked this down to the SSL handling in main/iostream.c.
> I've attached a file that will help in reproducing this problem. You can test it against a running Asterisk 15 with the following:
> {noformat}
> cat reproduce.txt | openssl s_client -connect whatever.your.hostname.is.com:8089 -ign_eof
> {noformat}
> Once connected, just hit Ctrl-C and the Asterisk thread will start using 100% CPU.
