That seems reasonable. What I was really going for with this test was just ensuring that we were actually hitting the "large request" code path at all. And checking for chunked encoding is another way of doing that. (And I certainly agree that "split across POSTs" is an inaccurate way of describing what it was trying for). > With this change, all tests pass at master with > GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=2. Yay. Thanks for your persistence with this. -Peff
