Bug #2803
closedclient download file from lighttpd server, why /var/tmp will generates temporary file?
Description
Hi all,
I am using embedded device with lighttpd 1.4.45 + cgi module. The client downloads file from lighttpd server, then the CGI module will be called to send random data content from memory with the client specific file size. For example, if the client requests 100M file size, then the CGI program sends 100M contents out from memory.
However, I found that when the client downloads file, the /var/tmp will also generate total 100M files which are names with prefix "lighttpd-upload-". And it will deletes after the client downloads file complete. From the document https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Server_upload-dirsDetails, I know that this is used for file upload, not file download. So, why I download the file from lighttpd server, it will generate random file? Is it a bug?
Please note that I run this on embedded device, therefore, the RAM and Flash resource is limited.

Thank you for the feedback. I will add some more references in the doc.
In the future, please avoid cross-posting, and look for forums or boards to ask questions (https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/boards/2), instead of filing bugs in the issue tracker. If you do post in multiple places, at least cross-reference them with a link to one another.
