// Here we are testing the HTTP server module's flood prevention mechanism.
// When writeable.write returns false (ie the underlying send() indicated the
// native buffer is full), the HTTP server cork()s the readable part of the
// stream. This means that new requests will not be read (however request which
// have already been read, but are awaiting processing will still be
// processed).

// Normally when the writable stream emits a 'drain' event, the server then
// uncorks the readable stream, although we aren't testing that part here.

// The issue being tested exists in Node.js 0.10.20 and is resolved in 0.10.21
// and newer.
