Keep-Alive request hangs if made to an URL that returns 204 response

[Oleh Palianytsia]

Here's a simple HTTP server in Python that returns 204 response for all requests:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer

class S(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.send_response(204)
        self.end_headers()


def run(server_class=HTTPServer):
    server_address = ('', 4343)
    httpd = server_class(server_address, S)
    httpd.serve_forever()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run()

When making a keep-alive request with drakma there the execution hangs forever. The non-keep-alive request works fine:

> (drakma:http-request
   "http://localhost:4343/"
   :method :GET)
#()
204
((:SERVER . "BaseHTTP/0.3 Python/2.7.15+")
 (:DATE . "Thu, 25 Oct 2018 15:44:38 GMT"))
#<PURI:URI http://localhost:4343/>
#<FLEXI-STREAMS:FLEXI-IO-STREAM {1051E270A3}>
T
"No Content"
;; OK


> (drakma:http-request 
   "http://localhost:4343/"
   :method :GET
   :keep-alive t :close nil)
;; hangs forever

Just wanted to report this ;)

Seems like nobody is interested in drakma anymore.
Btw, the fix is trivial.

I am. :)

If the fix is trivial why don't you send a pull request?

Just sharing my first impression. OK, I'll send it soon.
