This command would hang forever:
HTTPie would read the file, compress it, then discard the compressed data because it's larger than the original. This made
request.body
an exhausted file handle, whichrequests
doesn't seem to like.(Maybe it would be better in this case to do unconditional streaming compression to avoid buffering large files. We might do that in xh. But that would be a bigger change.)
