Description

The blocking client checks for an out-of-order response every 8kb, however content-length requests may write large buffers that aren't chunked before being written to the socket, allowing them to bypass this protection.
Should the OutputStream which checks for early responses also split large writes in order to check more frequently?

Note that I don't think chunked encoding is impacted due the the (default) 2 KiB chunk size.

Fixing this may prevent socket exceptions, but could come at a slight performance cost due to more frequent 1ms reads.
