Python httplib ResponseNotReady

Question

I\'m writing a REST client for elgg using python, and even when the request succeeds, I get this in response:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"tes         


        

Answer 1

Previous answers are correct, but there's another case where you could get that exception:

Making multiple requests without reading any intermediate responses completely.

For instance:

conn.request('PUT',...)
conn.request('GET',...)
# will not work: raises ResponseNotReady

conn.request('PUT',...)
r = conn.getresponse()
r.read() # <-- that's the important call!
conn.request('GET',...)
r = conn.getresponse()
r.read() # <-- same thing

and so on.
