fix race

block on write which only returns when the channel is closed. this is
contrary to the previous arrangement where the handler may return but
the stream hasn't finished writing. it can lead to the client receiving
unexpected responses (since the request has been handled) or worst case
a nil-pointer dereference as the stream tries to flush a nil writer
