When the BLOB server is in Pull mode and all chunks were received for
the current block, and the current block is the last block, then
according to section 5.2.4 of MshMBTv1.0 the server should stop sending
BLOB Partial Block Report messages if it determines that the client
knows that the transfer is complete:
```
While the Pull BLOB State Machine is in the All Chunks Received state,
the Pull BLOB State Machine continues to send the BLOB Partial Block
Report messages until one of the following happens:
• The Receive BLOB Timeout timer expires.
• If the current block is not the last block, then the client starts a
new block, in which case a new Pull BLOB State Machine is instantiated.
• If the current block is the last block, then the server determines
that the client knows the transfer is complete. For example, a
higher-layer model may indicate that the client considers the transfer
complete.
```
We currently don't have any OOB mean (for example, API) to determine
whether the client knows that the transfer is complete. We also need to
keep in mind that the Partial Block Report message can get lost so one
transmission may not be enough. The client could immediately send BLOB
Transfer Get message to get the transfer status, but this goes against
its state machine defined in section 6.2.4.2, where a Block transmission
completes when a BLOB Partial Block Report message is received with an
empty list of requested chunks (table 6.4, figure 6.1).
Because of this, we need to keep sending Partial Block Report messages.
We can keep sending them at least until Block Report timer expires.
If the client sends BLOB Transfer Get message, then it finished with
sending the block and we can change the phase and finish the transfer.
