I thought it was necessary for the application to indicate it wants to
finish the handshake. I think with the FINAL state this is
superfluous.

Okay, since http_write_header() uses a buffer with the same size and
its headers are a lot longer, I am pretty sure the headers will fit.

I don't know what I was thinking. After long inspection it seemed to
me like exception based programming. Removed.

Since http_read_header() returns 0 if headers were already read, this
check is redundant. Removed.

I think at first I misunderstood what you meant with the decreasing
return values. I hope I understood it correctly this time.
