Seems like httpConsumePayload() invoked from httpHandleConnection() to refill 
partial request. 

Added following line in httpHandleConnection() seems to fix the issue :
----
// If the callback only provided partial data, 
      // FIX 
      if( http->done == 0 &&  http->url == NULL && http->method == NULL && http->path == NULL &&
       http->matchedPath == NULL && http->pathInfo == NULL && http->query == NULL && http->version == NULL &&
       http->headerLength == 0 &&  http->callback == NULL &&  http->arg == NULL && http->totalWritten == 0 &&
        http->code == 200 && http->state == COMMAND )
        break;
      //FIX
       if (http->isPartialReply && (!http->msg || http->msgLength <= 0)) {
        httpConsumePayload(http, "", 0);
