Loop&nbsp;handlers&nbsp;are&nbsp;designed&nbsp;to&nbsp;wait&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;long&nbsp;time&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;socket&nbsp;*idle*&nbsp;and&nbsp;then&nbsp;eventually&nbsp;send&nbsp;one&nbsp;response&nbsp;then&nbsp;close&nbsp;the&nbsp;socket.&nbsp;Things&nbsp;like&nbsp;long-polling.&lt;br&gt;<br>

What&nbsp;you&nbsp;are&nbsp;doing&nbsp;is&nbsp;just&nbsp;streaming,&nbsp;for&nbsp;which&nbsp;you&nbsp;do&nbsp;not&nbsp;need&nbsp;a&nbsp;timeout&nbsp;because&nbsp;the&nbsp;socket&nbsp;isn&#39;t&nbsp;idle.&nbsp;You&nbsp;are&nbsp;just&nbsp;sending&nbsp;a&nbsp;large&nbsp;response,&nbsp;and&nbsp;normal&nbsp;handlers&nbsp;are&nbsp;perfectly&nbsp;capable&nbsp;of&nbsp;doing&nbsp;that.&lt;div&nbsp;class=&quot;im&quot;&gt;<br>
