Research direction

Start with the requests integration and the RequestsOpenAPIRequest implementation; the issue provides a proposed RequestsOpenAPIRequestFix that buffers generator request bodies and normalizes the MIME type. Reproduce validation of a chunked request, then verify that the request is buffered and validation succeeds without breaking image bodies or non-generator bodies.

FIX:

class RequestsOpenAPIRequestFix(RequestsOpenAPIRequest):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super().__init__(*args)
        self._body_buffer = ''

    @property
    def mimetype(self) -> str:
        return super().mimetype.split(';')[0]

    @property
    def body(self) -> Optional[str]:
        if isinstance(self.request.body, types.GeneratorType):
            for part in self.request.body:
                self._body_buffer += part.decode('utf-8')
            return self._body_buffer
        if self.mimetype.startswith('image'):
            return None
        return super().body
