Some HTTP servers break connection entirely at such sending side shutdown.
For example tinyurl.com and some other URL shorteners.

I propose two alternative patches:

1. https://bugs.exim.org/attachment.cgi?id=979
Do not shutdown if port 80.

2. https://bugs.exim.org/attachment.cgi?id=980
Do not shutdown if timeout (third argument of readsocket item) is specified as
a negative number. Absolute value (without the munus) is used as timeout.
