question about conn_read and conn_nread states

[Torsten Foertsch]

Hi,

if I understood the source correctly a connection is in conn_read state if a 
command is expected and in conn_nread if an item is read. Why does 
try_read_network() which is called in conn_read just after try_read_command() 
try to read as much data from the network as possible allocating more and 
more buffer space. Wouldn't that ask for a DOS attack?

Why not read a limited buffer say 8k? Every command does probably fit into 
that space. The rest of the item is then read in conn_nread.
