title: 'Connection aborted.', error(32, 'Broken pipe')
body: <p>I am trying to 'POST' several ~512 MB vmdk files to an ESX host, however, after first file is POSTed my program starts failing error with the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'Connection aborted.', error(32, 'Broken pipe')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried increasing the request timeout, but the script kept running for 17 hours and and the second vmdk did not get uploaded.
  Here's the pseudo code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for file_ in vmdk_files:
      request.post(url, data=file, verify=False)
  </code></pre>
