# HG changeset patch # Parent 2eb84fe858892b450a651003e4cdb1abbccbfe80 Issue #12319: Add support for chunked encoding of HTTP request bodies When the body object is a file, its size is no longer determined with fstat(), since that can report the wrong result (e.g. reading from a pipe). Instead, determine the size using seek(), or fall back to chunked encoding for unseekable files. Also, change the logic for detecting text files to check for TextIOBase inheritance, rather than inspecting the “mode” attribute, which may not exist (e.g. BytesIO and StringIO). The Content-Length for text files is no longer determined ahead of time, because the original logic could have been wrong depending on the codec and newline translation settings.
