There is a <a href="https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/issues/800" target="_blank">known issue in urllib3</a> that you will get error messages in your logs like <code>[StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect(), MultipartInvariantViolationDefect()], unparsed data: ''</code> but the component still works fine. You can ignore the messages.
