Could not create paste: HTTP response code said error

[Hritik14]

I'm getting
pbpst: Could not create paste: HTTP response code said error pbpst: Removed empty swap flie (contingency)
when trying to create any paste.

Hi, what provider are you using? and can you give me some basic information about the file? What file type is it, what size is it, etc.?

[Hritik14]

Every file. Tried stdin as well. Provider is the default one. pb. The curl command from pb works fine though.

Could you post the full output using -VV?

Well, that is quite odd. Can you show me ls -l thefile and show me the full command you used to try to paste it?

[Hritik14]

It's getting weirder.

/tmp   
❯ pbpst -S -f file 
https://ptpb.pw/pYBC
                                                                                                                                                                                               
/tmp

I am getting the same error. I am trying the command

journalctl -keb -1| pbpst -S
pbpst: Could not create paste: HTTP response code said error
pbpst: Removed empty swap file (contingency)

Any workarounds for this as of now ?

Same error here, using the latest git commit.

Indeed. The fix for this involves reading/buffering in all of stdin so that the length can be determined; and then the request can be handled roughly as normal (link with more detail can be found in #89). I'm afraid I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet (work has become a bit hectic lately). If anyone wants to take a stab at it, I'd happily accept PRs (including partial work if it brings us closer to a real fix).

I am starting to have a bit more free-time (though that may change here shortly), so hopefully I can finally come back and address this properly in not too long ):
