Good day Maybe I misunderstood something, but I'm failed to fetch any data by calling asyncio.StreamReader.read if `n` is less than zero (or left default). It just hangs in the loop forever (see line number 614 of asyncio/streams.py: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3e56ff0/Lib/asyncio/streams.py#L614). If `n` is equal to any positive value - coroutine works as expected and returns if there is any data in socket buffer. Even if available data size is less than `n` bytes. Expected behavior: collect all data from the buffer and return Current behavior: hangs in the loop forever if n < 0 My usage sample: https://git.io/v7nJq

`.read(-1)` reads up to end of stream (closing the underlying socket by peer). If other side doesn't close connection after sending data -- read(-1) hangs, but it is not asyncio bug.
