It depends a bit on the type of request; if it's using chunked encoding, the request-port you get is delimited, so you can just read until EOF. Otherwise, you'll have to check the request's content-length header. The nice bit about this is that if the client uses chunked encoding, there will be no content-length header. So either you read until content-length is hit, or until EOF. > With JSON objects this wasn't a problem, using Medea: > > >(read-json (request-port (current-request)) > >consume-trailing-whitespace: #f) The reason you didn't run into problems here is that JSON objects are self-delimited. They always look like {...} or [...]. However, if some library accidentally put some trailing whitespace in there you would probably run into trouble upon reading the next request, when the connection is keepalive.
