POST async routes with payloads are broken

[Jenselme]

Hi,

If I use ASyncApp with post routes that take as input a types.Type, the route will timeout. From what I see, the view function is never hit.

Minimal app.py to reproduce.

from apistar import ASyncApp, Route, types, validators

class Hello(types.Type):
    hi = validators.String()

# Times out
async def post(hello: Hello) -> dict:
    print(hello)
    return {'success': True}

# Works
async def simple_post() -> dict:
    return {'success': True}

routes = [
    Route('/post', 'POST', post),
    Route('/simple_post', 'POST', simple_post),
]

app = ASyncApp(routes=routes)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.serve('127.0.0.1', 7000, debug=True)

• curl -X POST localhost:7000/post will timeout
• curl -X POST localhost:7000/simple_post will work
• curl localhost:7000/post will correctly respond with 405

Forgot to precise when I opened the ticket: I tested with version 0.5.41

I also found when I user POST, the http call will no return. I also use ASyncApp on 0.5.41。

Closing this off given that 0.6 is moving to a framework-agnostic suite of API tools, and will no longer include the server. See https://discuss.apistar.org/t/api-star-as-a-framework-independant-tool/614 and #624.
