Got "Invalid header value char" from aiohttp

[mcscope]

Hello Guy! Cool project. I am using some of your code as a reference while making my own project - something to display images from the MET on my Meural. I don't have the home assistant so I'm just robbing some of your python code to make it work.

Anyway I found an bug that I think I should tell you about, in case you hit it. I got AIOHTTP to choke on some image file and crash. This is from LocalMeural.sendPostcard
if you give it this url, aiohttp crashes

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/aiohttp/client_reqrep.py", line 898, in start
    message, payload = await protocol.read()  # type: ignore[union-attr]

  File "aiohttp/_http_parser.pyx", line 551, in aiohttp._http_parser.HttpParser.feed_data
aiohttp.http_exceptions.BadHttpMessage: 400, message='Invalid header value char'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 21, in <module>
    asyncio.run(main())
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.8/3.8.8_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/asyncio/runners.py", line 44, in run

So I think it is some bug with aiohttp - that it can't handle the response of the server. Maybe it is based on aiohttp version? I have a pretty recent version.

[22-03-19-0:51:07 ladyred] ~/Code/Meural > pip3 list | grep aiohttp
aiohttp             3.8.1

Anyway, you may hit it if you try this data source (the met) or that aiohttp version.

PS I rewrote it with requests library and it works fine. So it is a library issue

    response = requests.get(url)
    image = response.content
    files = {'photo': ("photo", image, content_type, "")}

PS my man, did you ever find a solution to the canvas showing the previous uploaded postcard when you hit the remote endpoint? I guess it is a meural bug but did you find any workaround?

Hey! I did not find a solution to the previous uploaded postcard issue - mainly because, strangely enough, I have never encountered it - but @sanghviharshit has. Check out his PR for a workaround: #51
