ndjson problems

[dignifiedquire]

Currently

/api/v0/dht/findprovs?arg=<hash>&stream-channels=true

returns something that looks like ndjson but is not: https://gist.github.com/Dignifiedquire/93d2b01c638f08a77f68. According to the spec every line has to be a valid json object.

Ref ipfs-inactive/js-ipfs-http-client#76

this stuff is very important we need serious API tests here.

F****. I'm so sorry, this is a bug in the request library I'm using and not in go ipfs. The headers are set to chunked output and it's not detecting them properly. So sorry about this 😊

@dignifiedquire so it does return proper ndjson output?

@jbenet It returns proper chunked output, for why it's causing issues see: ipfs-inactive/js-ipfs-http-client#76 (comment)
