Dan and Justin, I've merged master into EPEL 8 here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-cheroot/pull-request/11

Would you please merge that?

Steps to reproduce this bug:

1. Install python3-cherrypy and python3-cheroot-8.5.1 from EPEL

2. Generate HTTPS key and cert following the instructions at https://docs.cherrypy.org/en/latest/deploy.html#ssl-support
   openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048
   openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key privkey.pem -out cert.pem

3. Create a "hello.py" app:

import cherrypy

cherrypy.server.ssl_certificate = "cert.pem"
cherrypy.server.ssl_private_key = "privkey.pem"

class HelloWorld(object):
    @cherrypy.expose
    def index(self):
        return "Hello World!"

cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())

4. Run the app in a terminal

5. In another terminal, run "ab -c20 -n1000 https://localhost:8080/" until it hangs. In my experiments running this ab invocation three times was enough to get it to consistently hang. "-n10000" was less consistent in triggering this bug. Basically ab will report a hard timeout like "apr_pollset_poll: The timeout specified has expired (70007)", or an error like "SSL error".

I wonder how we could build this into Fedora CI (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ar/ci/) so that we can run this kind of test on every CherryPy and Cheroot package build.

I've built RPMs with https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-cheroot/pull-request/11 at https://fedorapeople.org/~ktdreyer/bz1920461/ . I've run the same test with this newer version and it passes.

I took a stab at adding a CI test here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/ktdreyer/rpms/python-cherrypy/blob/tests/f/tests

I have not tried running this at all yet. I've emailed ci.org for help.
