Problem uploading large files: pywsgi.Input.Input._discard reads all input data about gevent HOT 1 CLOSED

If you want to actually, you know, use HTTP in a standards-compliant manner, yes, you have to read and discard the chunked upload between requests. Otherwise pipelining breaks.

But the application itself doesn't have to do that. That's why WSGI apps return iterables: make the iterable a generator and you can choose when you send parts of the response. That's also why there's the write callable the application can access.

As a last resort, you can always prematurely close the socket, or even try shutting it down half-duplex. The client will get a connection terminated error at that point, and the server side will probably also log errors. You can get to the socket through the WSGI environment.
