+Subject: [PATCH] Upstream: detect premature plain text response from SSL
+ backend.
+
+When connecting to a backend, the connection write event is triggered
+first in most cases.  However if a response arrives quickly enough, both
+read and write events can be triggered together within the same event loop
+iteration.  In this case the read event handler is called first and the
+write event handler is called after it.
+
+SSL initialization for backend connections happens only in the write event
+handler since SSL handshake starts with sending Client Hello.  Previously,
+if a backend sent a quick plain text response, it could be parsed by the
+read event handler prior to starting SSL handshake on the connection.
+The change adds protection against parsing such responses on SSL-enabled
+connections.
