In write only mode, the TCP receive buffer keeps growing and eventually
becomes full. This results in zero tcp window size, which in turn causes
unwanted issues, like, terminated tcp connection. The issue is apparent
when http persistent connection is enabled in hls/dash streaming use
cases. To overcome this issue, the logic here reads and discards the data
from the tcp socket.

ffurl_read have a int return value.

407 int ffurl_read(URLContext *h, unsigned char *buf, int size)
408 {
409     if (!(h->flags & AVIO_FLAG_READ))
410         return AVERROR(EIO);
411     return retry_transfer_wrapper(h, buf, size, 1, h->prot->url_read);
412 }

Thanks for the review comment. I have handled the return status of ffurl_read and have submitted a revised patch https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/8325/
