(I assume this is because I’m doing something wrong, but if it’s just a bug I can open an issue.)
When using HTTP.jl and accessing a particular server, I find that all requests except the first lead to a truncated response. If I open a fresh Julia session and do using HTTP; HTTP.get(addr), the response has ~1600 bytes in the body. If I just repeat HTTP.get(addr) or make any other request to the same server, e.g. HTTP.get(addr * "/other/resource"), the response body always has 132 bytes. (And that response body is incomplete.)
I don’t think the problem is on the server’s end, because a) using Requests.jl I can make the same request repeatedly and get the full response; b) using two Julia sessions in parallel and HTTP.jl I can get the full response twice in rapid succession.
Details/context:
- The server I’m trying to reach is a Hue bridge on my home network. I often set Julia to do a long computation and then wander away from the computer; it’d be cool to have my lights briefly flash green when the computation is completed. The first request in a fresh session works fine and gives the right information.
- It doesn’t seem to matter what the first request is; the first request works fine and subsequent requests get truncated to 132 bytes.
- I’m running Julia 0.6 on Windows
- I’ve been unable to produce a small [non-]working example strictly locally, e.g. by having a server running on localhost give a long string in response to all requests.
- Here is some example code showing what happens:
julia> using HTTP
julia> HUE = "http://192.168.0.100/api/<my-api-key>"
"http://192.168.0.100/api/<my-api-key>"
julia> r1 = HTTP.get(HUE * "/lights/5")
HTTP.Response:

Is there something obvious I should be doing differently?
