Write after end when piping

See original GitHub issue

I have a fairly simple case where I’m building a tarball-stream on the fly and piping it to a request that’s going through follow-redirects.

It almost immediately crashes with this error:

Error: write after end
    at ClientRequest.OutgoingMessage.write (_http_outgoing.js:439:15)
    at Writable.RedirectableRequest._write (/home/espenh/webdev/sanity/cli/node_modules/follow-redirects/index.js:170:23)
    at doWrite (_stream_writable.js:333:12)
    at clearBuffer (_stream_writable.js:440:7)
    at onwrite (_stream_writable.js:372:7)
    at WritableState.onwrite (_stream_writable.js:89:5)
    at CorkedRequest.finish (_stream_writable.js:547:7)
    at afterWrite (_stream_writable.js:387:3)
    at onwrite (_stream_writable.js:378:7)
    at TLSSocket.WritableState.onwrite (_stream_writable.js:89:5)

I’ll see if I can find time to write a reduced test case at some point, but don’t have time right at this moment. Switching to regular HTTP/HTTPS for this request fixes the problem.
