Re: [users@httpd] Read errors for GET <file> when <file> is more than 64K

It has been true for every person who has visited the site,  

regardless of browser. I even tried lynx on a unix machine within the  

same network.

I don't think it's a problem with the HTML because, first it worked  

just after Apache was installed, and second, it worked on the last  

version of apache I had the site running on (though it was a  

different computer). In addition, I can view the web pages locally  

(using a file:/// URL) and they have no problem.

more than

64K:

I compiled a clean version of Apache2 2.0.54 last week and things
seemed to work fine for a few days. However, now whenever anyone
tries to access a file larger than 64 K, the browser will fail to
download. The failure occurs on Safari and Firefox. The access log
shows a successful response, with the correct file size, but the file
is always cut off before transfer completes.

Is this Always true for every firefox/safari connection no matter  

where it is

from or just true for a specific test time/situation?

What is the best way to debug this problem?

Start with the above -- make sure you know whether it always  

happens with

those specific browsers. Get a number of different people to check  

it out.

I think the answer is in the coding - depends upon how strict/lapse  

the

browser..
