IO functions are expected to return AVERROR_EOF instead of 0

Trying to read into the context of this change, it seems like this
case is supposed to actually cause a retry, and the earlier if
(s->chunkend) check returns EOF on the following call (
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=91a565e20f0c220a6bc37e58c11cea4a3590149c
).

Quoting the commit: <<EOQ
After this patch, EOF is emulated once a 0-byte final chunk is
received by setting a new flag. This flag is reset in ff_http_do_new_request(),
which is used to make additional requests on the open socket.
EOQ

Of course, if this specific case does not actually require this sort
of loop-de-loop any more then this code can be somewhat simplified,
but otherwise it seems like this return 0 is here for a reason (?).

Good point, and this change seems to have been made after the move towards AVERROR_EOF in the IO layer, so I presume it's intentional then.

             else if (!s->chunksize) {
                 av_log(h, AV_LOG_DEBUG, "Last chunk received, closing conn\n");
                 ffurl_closep(&s->hd);
-                return 0;
+                return AVERROR_EOF;
             }

This one seems more correct for an EOF.

I think I'll defer this patch in any case; I hadn't investigated this one much, I just made it as a drive-by change after looking into the missing premature end error.
