Hi,

I am using the below CURL command to update a file in gitea, but it looks stalled. The same behaviour is in javascript with XMLHttpRequest and with fetch(), I got no answer, nothing:

curl -v -X PUT “path-to-host-and-file” -H “accept: application/json” -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “Authorization: token …” -d ‘{“content”:“content in base64 format”,“message”:“Updated file uuid-74f5ca75-7022-4c7c-b5ca-7570225c7c55”,“author”:{“email”:“email”,“name”:“name”}}’ -i

- Trying host…
- TCP\_NODELAY set
- Connected to host (host) port 3000 (#0)

> PUT /api/v1/repos/path-to-file HTTP/1.1  
> Host: host:3000  
> User-Agent: curl/7.58.0  
> accept: application/json  
> Content-Type: application/json  
> Authorization: token …  
> Content-Length: 6340  
> Expect: 100-continue

\< HTTP/1.1 100 Continue  
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

- We are completely uploaded and fine

Thanks,  
Claudius
