Contributions summary:Jo implemented features to improve the performance of HTTP responses, ensuring payload bodies can be properly drained by users without a risk of duplicate subscription exceptions. They refactored code and created test utilities for HTTP filter testing, particularly around the completion of HTTP response cycles. They refactored existing code to use a new utility that tracks and provides a view of complete HTTP response delivery, which can then be leveraged for metrics at the connection level.
