[issue32052] Provide access to buffer of asyncio.StreamReader

[Andrew Svetlov]

Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svetlov at gmail.com> added the comment:

Closing.
Brief:
1. Access to an internal buffer is not an option.
2. Pushing data back to stream after fetching is not an option too: it kills almost any possible optimization and makes code overcomplicated. aiohttp used to have "unread_data()" API but we deprecated it and going to remove the method entirely. A wrapper around the stream with puback functionality is an option though unless it doesn't touch underlying stream implementation.
3. Extending a set of reader operations is a good idea, please make a separate issue with a concrete proposal if needed.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
