How to avoid Soup.MemoryUse.COPY from python?

[Pascal Jacquemart <pascal fluffyspider com>]

Hi there,

I am using libSoup in python to upload big files to the cloud (using Range header).

I was wondering if there is a way to avoid and extra copy of the payload.

The data is coming from a file stream and I have to assign it to the request body.

Here my code snippet:

        file = Gio.File.new_for_path(filename)

        stream = file.read()

        status = stream.seek(start, GLib.SeekType.SET)

        bytes = stream.read_bytes(end - start +1)

        stream.close()

        message.set_request('application/octet-stream', Soup.MemoryUse.COPY, bytes.get_data())

I believe there must be a way to pass the payload data directly using Soup.MemoryUse.TAKE or TEMPORARY, considering it already comes from GLib.bytes / GIO.FileInoutStream?

I made some research / experiments but I could not find anything relevant.

Thanks,

Pascal
