I did this

Ran curl http://localhost:8080 -trace - against minimal example:

from http.server import HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler

class HTTPRequestHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.send_response(204)
        self.send_header('Connection', 'keep-alive')
        self.send_header('Transfer-Encoding', 'chunked')
        # self.send_header('Content-Length', '0')
        self.end_headers()

httpd = HTTPServer(('localhost', 8080), HTTPRequestHandler)
httpd.serve_forever()

I expected the following

Expected curl to terminate, instead hangs permanently or until exited.

Similar issue described in https://serverfault.com/q/870072 from 2017, although doesn't appear to have been reported.

As an important note testing with #3702 the above works as expected. Since the mentioned PR appears to be fixing a different issue I think it's still important to mention here, but please let me know if this should be closed in favor of #3702.

it appears #3702 fixes this

Can you try it and see that it actually does fix it for you?

Yep, I checked before opening this, testing with #3702 works as expected. Sorry for not being clear.

bagder pushed a commit that referenced this issue Jun 2, 2019
Responses with status codes 1xx, 204 or 304 don't have a response body. For
these, don't parse these headers:

- Content-Encoding
- Content-Length
- Content-Range
- Last-Modified
- Transfer-Encoding

This change ensures that HTTP/2 upgrades work even if a
"Content-Length: 0" or a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header is present.
