Until now, we would have only attempted to utilize already decrypted
data if it was enough to fill the size of buffer requested, that could
very well be up to 32 kilobytes.

With keep-alive connections this would just lead to recv blocking
until rw_timeout had been reached, as the connection would not be
officially closed after each transfer. This would also lead to a
loop, as such timed out I/O request would just be attempted again.

By just returning teh available decrypted data, keep-alive based
connectivity such as HLS playback is fixed with schannel.

Can you move the comment above the if(..)?
I feel like if blocks with no braces should have the single statement
follow immediately, with no breaks from comments or otherwise, just to
make sure its very clear that it belongs together.

Change otherwise LGTM.

Thanks for the reviews.

Yes, I will just move the comment block before the if, that indeed can
be simpler to view :) .

Will push this patch set with that change and a single "teh" typo in
the commit message fixed after work in order to give a bit more time
for comments. In general my test results with HTTPS HLS basically went
from "unusable" to "zomg!", so I'm quite confident that this is a step
towards better results with schannel.
