Endpoints don't handle chunked request bodies correctly

[rdlowrey]

I don't have much experience with WSGI, but this may be a simple fix as per a similar issue over at StackOverflow.

Endpoints do not appear to handle chunked request bodies correctly. The following is a raw request message to demonstrate and the corresponding raw response message ...

Request

POST /post HTTP/1.1
Host: httpbin.org
User-Agent: Artax/0.3.0-devel (PHP5.4+)
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

4
test
0

Response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:23:18 GMT
Server: gunicorn/0.17.4
Content-Length: 297
Connection: keep-alive

{
  "origin": "66.57.216.51",
  "files": {},
  "form": {},
  "url": "http://httpbin.org/post",
  "args": {},
  "headers": {
    "Transfer-Encoding": "chunked",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",
    "Connection": "close",
    "User-Agent": "Artax/0.3.0-devel (PHP5.4+)"
  },
  "json": null,
  "data": ""
}

As you can see, the response is unaware of the request's body data.

Just ran into this issue as well.

This looks like it's fixed now:

In [11]: requests.post(
    'https://httpbin.org/post', 
    data='4\r\ntest\r\n0\r\n\r\n', 
    headers={'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked'}).json()
Out[11]: 
{u'args': {},
 u'data': u'test',
 u'files': {},
 u'form': {},
 u'headers': {u'Accept': u'*/*',
  u'Accept-Encoding': u'gzip, deflate',
  u'Content-Length': u'4',
  u'Host': u'httpbin.org',
  u'User-Agent': u'python-requests/2.6.0 CPython/2.7.8 Linux/4.4.0-43-generic'},
 u'json': None,
 u'origin': u'x.x.x.x',
 u'url': u'https://httpbin.org/post'}

I can verify @tomviner is correct. Looks like whatever proxy sits in front of the httpbin app is taking care of this (hence why there's no Transfer-Encoding: chunked header)
