Comment (by Scott Halgrim):
I've been researching this ticket for a few hours at DjangoCon with
Carlton. He suggested (and I agree), that now would be a good time to
summarize what we've learned. This is not a full understanding of the
issue, but merely a status report, so to speak.
We've found we're able to reduce the surface area, so to speak, by adding
this smaller test to `test_fakepayload.py`, which also errors out in the
same way
{{{#!python
def test_read_small_file(self):
payload = FakePayload(b'--BoUnDaRyStRiNg\r\nContent-Disposition: form-
data; name="value"\r\n\r\n37\r\n--BoUnDaRyStRiNg--\r\n')
payload.read(65536)
}}}
This is basically what's happening in the example test `test_post`
provided above. The `FakePayload` object has its `read` method called by
`ChunkIter` in `MultiPartParser` with a value of 65_536.
So maybe the question now is, should `FakePayload` handle this in a
different way, or `MultiPartParser` and `ChunkIter` not be sending in a
number larger than the length of the body?
