Configurable chunk size in drupal_http_request()

tagging.

@podarok -- Dunno how you're gonna test for something like this. It's a judgment call, not a pass/fail. The only testable difference this patch can make is the amount of time it takes to fetch a remote file, and even that will differ depending on the configuration and load of the server.

Removing tag.

Changed from hardcoded to configurable chunksize, and added entry to settings.php:

/**
 * HTTP Request Buffer
 *
 * When drupal requests a file from another webserver, it periodically checks
 * for end-of-file and server timeouts.  The default is to read a maximum of
 * 1024 bytes between each check.  Increasing this limit may help performance
 * when reading large files from the network.
 */
# $conf['http_request_buffer'] = 1024;

Thanks, testbot! Trying again...

Bumping version, even though I'd *really* like to get this into 7.x as well.

#7: http_request_buffer.patch queued for re-testing.

(Previous result from 7.x testbot passed. Do we have an 8.x testbot yet?)

Trying again...
