In write only mode, the TCP receive buffer keeps growing and eventually
becomes full. This results in zero tcp window size, which in turn causes
unwanted issues, like, terminated tcp connection. The issue is apparent
when http persistent connection is enabled in hls/dash streaming use
cases. To overcome this issue, the logic here reads and discards the data
from the tcp socket.
