I confirm issue exists:
response = HTTP.get('http://www.rubydoc.info/github/httprb/http') 5.times { puts response.body.readpartial(10).length } # 5401 # 10 # 10 # 10 # 10
The issue is because we read response headers first. And once they are fully fetched some of body might happen to be written in the chunk waiting for the first

Hi there,
According to
IO#readpartialdocumentation, this method "reads at most maxlen bytes from the I/O stream", butHTTP::Response::Body#readpartialis returning more bytes than expected.oj calls this method within C code and this misbehavior leads to Segmentation fault.
Thank you!
