I've read some posts from 2013 that the Gunicorn team was planning to build a threaded buffering layer worker model, similar to how Waitress works. Is that what the gthread async worker does? The gthread workers were released with version 19.0 in 2014.
Waitress has a master async thread that buffers requests, and enqueues each request to one of its sync worker threads when the request I/O is finished.
Gunicorn gthread doesn't have much documentation, but it sounds similar. From the docs:
The worker gthread is a threaded worker. It accepts connections in the main loop, accepted connections are are added to the thread pool as a connection job.
I only ask because I am not super knowledgeable about python async I/O code, though a cursory reading of the gthread.py seems to indicate that it is a socket-buffering process that protects worker threads from long-I/O requests (and buffers the response I/O as well).

回答1:
The threaded worker in Gunicorn does not buffer I/O and does not read the request body in the main thread.
The main loop asynchronously handles calling accept()[1], but then the socket is immediately submitted to the thread pool[2].
回答2:
Gunicorn doesn't have HTTP request buffering, which is something you can find in Waitress. Waitress also has the advantage that it fully supports Windows.
