Processing of a Complete Multipart Upload request could take several minutes to complete. After Amazon S3 begins processing the request, it sends an HTTP response header that specifies a 200 OK response. While processing is in progress, Amazon S3 periodically sends white space characters to keep the connection from timing out. Because a request could fail after the initial 200 OK response has been sent, it is important that you check the response body to determine whether the request succeeded.
Our TS client (and possibly other clients, I haven't checked) do not handle this failure mode. Further down on the linked page, it shows an example of what a HTTP 200 failure response looks like:
