TypeError: object supporting the buffer API required with BufferedReader requests

[m9aertner]

Very similar to Issue 10, we are seeing an issue when POSTing some piped content, e.g. via here file:

http -A aws4 POST $AWS_ES_URL/some_index/doc/TEST:1 <<<'{"SOME":"text"}'
...
http: error: TypeError: object supporting the buffer API required

In this case, the body appears to be a BufferedReader, with BufferedIOBase superclass defining the read() method. Materializing the reader using read() works around that problem, at the cost of loading the body into memory.
