Problem description

A timeout error occurs. This indicates that the Content-Length header is specified in the request, but the request body is not sent or is smaller than the specified value.

Causes

The server receives a request body that is smaller than the value specified in the Content-Length request header. Consequently, the server waits for the remaining data until the request times out.

Example problem

PUT /test.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: test.oss-cn-zhangjiakou.aliyuncs.com
User-Agent: aliyun-sdk-python/2.6.0(Windows/7/AMD64;3.7.0)
Accept: */*
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 100
Content-Type: text/plain
date: Tue, 04 Dec 2018 15:56:37 GMT
authorization: OSS qn6q****************:kZoY****************
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

For example, if Content-Length is set to 100, this error occurs if the sent file is smaller than 100 bytes or if no request body is sent.

Solutions

1. Ensure that the network connection is stable.

2. Ensure that the value of the Content-Length header matches the size of the request body.

3. Use an SDK to send requests.
