[vlc-devel] [PATCH 9/9] httpd: don't wait until all clients are idle

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

As long as at least one client is active, we need to keep trying to
read/write to drain the RX buffers or fill the TX buffers.

We still need to poll (with zero timeout) to detect new connections.

Fixes #24824.
