Description

ssh reverse tunnel accept on Listener, read this channel is OK. but the read function on this channel will block within another thread . for created new stream by using Stream method on this channel, even read in same thread , read function blocks. since reverse tunnel cannot read eof within one read function, we need to start new thread to read. but it's not work , create new stream even worse.

version 0.9.1 ; rust 1.51; os : Windows 7

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reverse-tunnel case described for ssh2-rs 0.9.1 on Windows 7 with Rust 1.51, comparing Listener accept/read with streams created through the channel's Stream method. Trace where the channel read blocks, including the separate-thread case. Done means reverse-tunnel reads complete without indefinite blocking when EOF is not available in a single read.
