[PATCH v9 1/3] http-backend: cleanup writing to child process

[Max Kirillov <max@max630.net>]

As explained in [1], we should not assume the reason why the writing has
failed, and even if the reason is that child has existed not the reason
why it have done so. So instead just say that writing has failed.
