[FFmpeg-user] ffserver HTTP stream playback freeze

You mean: the client sends ZeroWindow to the server and the server stops
reacting? At a wild guess, I would say that ZeroWindow will cause a system
call to block on the server instead of succeeding immediately, and that
could be handled wrong in ffserver code: the socket could be in non-blocking
mode, the system call returns EAGAIN, and ffserver treats it partially as a
permanent error.
