Hi,
I have two problems and I don't know if they are related. I see there
has been some previous discussions of the problems I have been
encountering, but as there aren't solutions currently I thought I would
post details on them.
Both problems involve using Apache2::Upload on Windows. They always
occur on the 4 machines I've tested on (3x Windows Server 2003 and 1x XP
Pro). I'm using libapreq2 2.08 (see bottom for more specs).
Both problems make Apache2::Upload unusable on Windows in a production
environment.
If anyone would like further details please don't hesitate to ask.
Many Thanks in advance

============================================================
Problem 1 - Temp files are always left in c:/WINDOWS/Temp
============================================================
Temp files are always left in c:/WINDOWS/Temp until shutdown and cannot
be removed through perl or explorer
e.g.
c:/WINDOWS/Temp/apreq0wuKHF
============================================================
Problem 2 - A large proportion of uploads fail (maybe 20-50%)
============================================================
A large proportion of uploads fail (maybe 20-50%) and produce errors
such as:
"$param->upload_tempname($req): can't make spool bucket"
or
"(OS 5)Access is denied. : apreq_brigade_concat failed; TempDir problem?"
This problem seems to occur slightly more with larger files, but it is
not deterministic. Repeated tries with the same file will eventually
result in success, but sometime take 20 retries. I have mainly been
testing with images, JPGs etc. Multiple upload request in any one second
seem to increase the chance of failure.
============================================================
Example upload perl code...
============================================================
my $request = new Apache2::Request($r);
my $upload = $request->upload('fileToUpload');
my $tempname = $upload->tempname();
my $buffer;
my $io = $upload->io();
open(UPLOAD_FILE,'> '.$filePath);
binmode(UPLOAD_FILE);
while($io->read($buffer)) {
print UPLOAD_FILE $buffer;
}
close(UPLOAD_FILE);
