Yes, basically if you suspend to perform some asynchronous activity that
needs a timeout, you need to manage that timeout.

Yes, if you "close" i.e. by returning "MHD_NO".

If you respond, other requests on the connection will then be processed,
but not limited by the MEMORY_LIMIT. MHD won't use more RAM per
connection than allowed by MEMORY_LIMIT, but the OSes for client and
server negotiate a TCP buffer which is really what limits network
transmissions. And the client just won't be able to transmit more
requests than what that TCP buffer allows until you resume, but in
theory the number of requests that can be pipelined is unlimited.

Yes.
