RE: Bad Gateway with large file upload [EXT] (Apache Users)

Is your test over a local network or over the internet. If the latter there is little you can do.

HTTP upload was never really designed for large files like this. That’s why more languages/frameworks put a limit on the size of uploads. And these are usually in the 5-10M size.

There are much better ways of transferring large files in web-browsers nowadays using clever _javascript_ which slices the file and a script which stitches the parts back together at your end – transfers are smaller and avoids time outs. Can also parallelize them if required.

Hi community,

Thank you for your valuable hint again.

Can we tune something from chrome?

that can make chrome 147MB test works?

Or we need to tune our network infrastructure?

For now, I haven't been able to google anything yet.

Thanks and regards,
Eric

Good morning,

Thanks for your excellent tip last night.

We have some significant turn around from an investigation perspective.

We’ve done some additional testing this morning and had a surprising result. Does this provide any hints to the cause?

Firefox 60 MB:                 bad gateway

Firefox 147 MB:                bad gateway

Chrome 60 MB:                 success!

Chrome 147 MB:              bad gateway

IE 11 60 MB:                       bad gateway

IE 11 147 MB:                    bad gateway

My client said that we’re bound to using IE 11 for this project, although Chrome was identified as a acceptable alternative.

For now we can ignore his comment for troubleshooting.

Is it a bug, or limitation, or work as designed?

Or something we can tune (like browser or network infrastructure?) ?

Is it caused by timing?

Please advise.

Eric

Have you tried with a currently supported browser?

IE is on death watch.
