I have set up a laptop as a test bed and set the very minimum network configuration. I've also made the very minimum changes to httpd.conf from the sample in the distro to configure apache2. The test index.html works - it's very simple.However if I increase the size of index.html (by adding characters anywhere) it fails to send the file if the file has a size of 256 bytes or more. It is definitely size rather than content related.
Apache logs show the file being served correctly (code=200) whatever the size. However something is forcing tcp to close prematurely the connection. If I look at the network with ethereal I get an ACK fromthe server to the GET request as expected but that is followed immediately by a FIN,ACK from the server which forces the connection to close. No data is transferred from the server when this happens.
I get it on 2 systems with completely different hardware and settings so I think it has to be a system configuration issue. Has anybody any idea why I'm getting this error and what I can do about it?
Any clues would be appreciated. Dick --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
