#3908: Detect invalid HTTP storage server responses early, close request
-------------------------+---------------------------------------

     Type:  enhancement  |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal       |      Milestone:  HTTP Storage Protocol
Component:  unknown      |        Version:  n/a
 Keywords:               |  Launchpad Bug:
-------------------------+---------------------------------------
 When downloading shares, if the Content-Length/Content-Range of a response
 doesn't match requested body length (too short means we were wrong about
 what server has in terms of length, or server bug, too long means server
 bug), we should probably just give up early.

 This depends on #3907; currently we knowingly send non-matching lengths,
 so that needs to be fixed first.

 Implementation: when deliverBody() happens the passed-in protocol gets
 access to the transport, allowing us to close the connection.
