New submission from Wiktor Niesiobedzki: It looks like, when doing PUT together with a file-like object to send, http.client will try to send the whole file before analysing the response from the server.
If you do the following: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/300mb.zero bs=1M count=300 And then run following code in Python 3.4 (tested 3.4.3 on Linux and FreeBSD): import http.client conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection('api.onedrive.com') req = conn.request( method='PUT', url='https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drives/me/root:/test.file:/content', body=open("/tmp/300mb.zero", "rb")) resp = conn.getresponse() You'll notice the hang. After some time, it will aborted with BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe. If you run the following code within pdb debugger, and interrupt, you'll probably interrupt somewhere within write loop. You can call self.read() and see, that HTTP 413 is waiting to be interpreted. Doing similar action with curl: $ $ curl -v -T /tmp/300mb.zero https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drives/me/root:/test.file:/content Gives you immediate HTTP 413 error. Can we have the same behaviour in http.client library? ---------- components: IO messages: 256808 nosy: Wiktor Niesiobedzki priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: htp.client PUT method ignores error responses sent immediatly after headers type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25919> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
