I'm writing an application in which the server can quickly rule out a request based on it's headers. When this happens the server will send back a 4xx response. If the client is sending a large body in a POST, it will cause a "java.net.ScoketException: Broken pipe" on the client.
The issue appears to be that client expects to fully send it's request before accepting a response.
Here is a simple test that exhibits the problem:
(ns http-test.core
(:require [clj-http.client :as client]
[org.httpkit.server :refer [run-server]]))
;; Server
(defn app [req]
{:status 200
:headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
:body "hello HTTP!"})
(run-server app {:port 8080})
;; Client
(def s (slurp "big-file.txt"))
(client/post "http://localhost:9091/run" {:body s})(defproject http-test "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
