That's correct, unless you did message.request_body.set_accumulate(False).

That's weird... this may be a problem with the python bindings.

I'd ask the pygobject people... they may know more about these issues,
or if there are any unimplemented things in their gobject-introspection
support that might cause this.

I don't think it's a problem with the introspection annotations in
libsoup, because I know people are using it from javascript without
major problems...
