This is a follow up to https://ask.openstack.org/en/question...

When I used Transfer-Encoding: chunked on an HTTP PATCH, Keystone wasn't actually receiving/loading the JSON payload.

When I use POST with Transfer-Encoding: chunked, there are no problems.

Is the design intent to support chunked encoding for PATCH? Could this simply be a bug?

I'm using Icehouse-3 on RHEL6

Thank you

Update 1:

The following POST command does work:

curl -ki \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Auth-Token: password" \
  -H "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" \
  -X POST \
  -d '
{ "project": {
     "name" : "mynewProject"
  }
}' \
