[ruby-core:104125] [Ruby master Bug#17933] `Net::HTTP#write_timeout` doesn't work with `body_stream`

Issue #17933 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).


> it's unclear if it will break some existing functionality

Well, `copy_stream` can only use its optimizations with real IO objects, so functionally this would still work, but the performance would be heavily degraded. But this optimization is already disabled for SSL sockets, so maybe it doesn't matter as much in practice?

----------------------------------------
While testing `Net::HTTP#write_timeout` using the server example from the [Feature Issue](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13396), I've noticed that [Faraday](https://github.com/lostisland/faraday) multipart requests (with a file parameter) didn't trigger `WriteTimeout`. The root cause is that [Net::HTTPGenericRequest#send_request_with_body_stream](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v2_6_7/lib/net/http/generic_request.rb#L205-L207) is not using `Net::BufferedIO` (the class that implements the write timeout).

The following patch fixes the issue, but looking at the comments, it's unclear if it will break some existing functionality. Albeit all the tests pass.

Any thoughts on this? It looks like `Net::HTTP#write_timeout` is partially implemented, and we should ensure that it either works on all use cases or an error is raised when it's used in a non-supported use case.

I'm more than happy to help with the implementation. If this patch is the correct approach, I can also create new unit tests to assert the proper behaviour.
