[users@httpd] The real meaning of TimeOut-Directive and Upload of big files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 





I have apache2 running and some users use a cgi-uploadform on the server and IE to upload bigger files. They report that with "big files" in approx. 50% the upload fails and IE prints a page "requested page is not available"

I was thinking if this is a TimeOut-Problem with apache or with IE and if I could resolv the issue by changing the TimeOut-Directive to a bigger value.

What happens if a user uploads a big file and the upload takes longer than specified in "TimeOut"?

There seems to be a different meaning when using POST and/or GET. With GET its the total time and with POST its the time between receiving tcp-packages. (according to the docs of the apache-core-module)

For uploading files is always POST (?) the upload should also be able to take hours without the TimeOut-Directive getting in the way as long as a package sneaks in every 300seconds?


thnx,
p
