Description

I've been unable to upload files above 64Kb when serving lighttpd from two different Macs, both running 10.4.3.

Files get uploaded to /var/tmp but that's all. Safari hangs forever pretending to be uploading the file. Similar behaving can be seen in Firefox and IE.

Here are my lighttpd (1.4.7) installation steps:


./configure --with-openssl
make
make install

I'm just going to attach a file with a ktrace/kdump I did.

These are the steps I did during the ktrace:

  1. Start lighty
  2. Call the upload form page from Safari
  3. Attach a 144KB file to the form and submit!
  4. Stop lighty

Note: Related to #360?

the ktrace only shows the startup phase of lighttpd before the fork() for the daemonize() call.

We don't see the actual file transfer.

I started getting the same error with web uploads recently with an ubuntu install of lighty using php5 in fastcgi mode...

This is a problem in Safari 2. Disable keepalive to Safari user agents and large uploads will work. Traffic sniffing reveals that Safari stops sending anything when it should send the file.

If you see the behaviour with FF and IE, too. Then try the following in your lighttpd.conf (it helped me to POST files >50MB to lighttpd running on FreeBSD 6.3)

server.network-backend = "write"

Unusable ktrace/strace/whatever, please give more details.

I would at least use "writev" instead of "write":


server.network-backend = "writev"
