Martin Panter added the comment: For the record, it looks like there were a few distinct but related problems here:
* Passing any StringIO object as the body is not supported (see <https://docs.python.org/2/library/httplib.html#httplib.HTTPConnection.request>), because no StringIO class implements the fileno() method. * Passing a Python 2 natively implemented StringIO.StringIO instance triggers the same AttributeError exception as in Issue 15267, incompatibility with TemporaryFile objects. * Even if HTTPConnection.request() did support calculating Content-Length for StringIO objects, it would still be wrong for chunk-encoded bodies. I think the lower-level endheaders() or send() methods should be used instead. Or see Issue 12319, about adding chunked encoding for request(). ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12327> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
