responding to request, keeping the connection alive and reading the stream

[RainerZufall187]

i need to respond to a request first and then read the client stream help

That's a bit vague, but depending on what you need, you might be able to use a 100-continue handler, or do something else with a StreamResponse, or use a websocket..

i tried returning streamresponse but its sending a 0 for some reason

[Dreamsorcerer]

You'd probably need to use .prepare() and .write(), for example.

no i need to respond with 200

[RainerZufall187]

ok

According to that information, the newer icecast protocol uses 100-continue, and would probably work with aiohttp. But, older versions are unlikely to work and you'd be better writing integration at a lower level.

[RainerZufall187]

so there is no way to keep the connection open after i do request.transport.write(b"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\n") in the handler and return nothing?

[Dreamsorcerer]

Maybe, I'm not sure. But, it's getting complicated and hacky, so you'd be better off just using low-level asyncio objects, like the previous user did, rather than trying to contort aiohttp to do something it's not designed for.
