cannot pipe request after body-parser

See original GitHub issue

I’m using body-parser to limit the size of a POST body. Adding the following line a request with some 3MB stucks on ‘100 continue’. No data is written.

app.use(bodyParser.raw({ limit: '5mb' }));

A request with 400kB is successful. Removing the above line the 3MB request (and larger requests) work fine. I’m using version 1.12.3. Maybe I have overseen something!?

Ah, thanks, that fss usage is where your problem is. You can only read a stream one time in Node.js. req was already read into req.body ny this module, so your req.pipe is what’s hanging. You just need to do writable.end(req.body) and remove readable.pipe(writeable).
