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?
