What
Claude Code now refuses network requests that carry a body of raw bytes or ask for compression, unless they go through one particular internal path. Text bodies are still limited in size.
Why
That internal path can now carry binary data.
Binary request bodies and compression limited to one request path
Requests with a byte body or a compress option now fail unless they go through one internal request path
