 def body(self) -> Optional[bytes]: ... 
\n  
\n
\n
\n
the type of the BaseRequest.body property is defined as Optional[bytes]; however, the docstring of the Request protocol (which inherits body from BaseRequest) says:
\n
\n
    body\n       The request body, as string.\n
\n
\n
I'm currently having some issue with the validation, but it's not clear which direction should I go with the solution -- should body be bytes or str? Have I missed something? Thank you!

Hi @berislavlopac
\n
that's definitely an issue with doctoring,Optional[bytes] is expected there
