If I receive empty payload in my HTTP request in Uvicorn. Getting a parsing error

[ChaitanyaYeole02]

This is the http request which I received on my ASGI server.
{'type': 'http.request', 'body': b'', 'more_body': False}

I am getting this error, as my body is empty.
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Please provide a minimal, reproducible example, with the versions of the packages used. 🙏

cc @euri10 maybe save this message? 😄

I'm not a user of postman but I dont think with it you can upgrade the protocol, but not too sure about it.
when I want a quick way to test ws in the browser I'm using that extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/browser-websocket-client/mdmlhchldhfnfnkfmljgeinlffmdgkjo

[ChaitanyaYeole02]

You can send HTTP requests, through your browser. Inside WebSockets, HTTP requests are upgraded every time. I have been using it for a long time.

[euri10]

it's very confusing what you're trying to achieve, maybe condensate a little your issue, you're showing a uvicorn server, another server written with plain websockets, well I;m not in your head, stackoverflow might be more suited for that kind of generic question

[ChaitanyaYeole02]

I am trying that my program is able to upgrade the HTTP connection and if it failed then it sends a response accordingly. Which happens in plain WebSockets.
So my doubt is, can uvicorn server do the same, if yes then am I doing something wrong? If not, then how can I make it do the same?
