Re: [twsocket] issues with POSTing data to ICS HTTP server (reproducible with ICS HTTP server demo)
Hi Angus, Thanks for the idea, can I upload files from software instead of using the webpage?

Re: [twsocket] issues with POSTing data to ICS HTTP server (reproducible with ICS HTTP server demo)
Duh, looked at the page but didn't real bottom lines :\ sorry for that. No, I can't reproduce using that URL, I'm not really sure what triggers the situation (see the fact that calling TMemo.Lines.Add() seems to avoid the problem). I'm currently adding debug log into ICS, and it seems that at the moment things go wrong, TCustomWSocket.Do_FD_WRITE is called when it should not. Also in fault situation wParam is 668 (where normally it's 652). Don't know yet why or what it means though. Cause Do_FD_WRITE is called, some flags are switched in OverbyteIcsHttpSrv, which makes that the last block is dropped.

Try adding bandwidth limiting to your client to slow down the speed on the LAN. Set BandwidthLimit to bps, and add HttpoBandwidthControl to Options. This is an alternate to adding extra delays which is effectively what you are doing by updating the screen. There is probably a race condition somewhere, that has yet to be found.

Hi Angus, I wasn't aware the /cg was in the filename, it was there unintentionally. I've tried a number of times with this url http://www1.telecom-tariffs.co.uk/testing/uploadfile.htm?FileName=merijn.test Can you please confirm if the upload went ok? thanks, Merijn On 04/09/2014 16:30, Angus Robertson - Magenta Systems Ltd wrote: No, I can't reproduce using that URL You did not succeed in saving any files on the server, because my application ignores all upload file names with file path delimiters.

Re: [twsocket] issues with POSTing data to ICS HTTP server (reproducible with ICS HTTP server demo)
Hi Angus, While I agree with you, the issue seems to be a little more complex. I've tried this connection over the internet, client on a remote location, server running locally. It still shows the same issue. What's ever more odd is that I switched the writing to TMemo.Lines with a sleep(), to see how long waiting is required to get things running. When running locally (both client and server on the same macine), a sleep(1) is enough to 'work around' the issue. When running the client on a remote site, I have to up this to sleep(100) to make things work (sleep(50) didn't work ok, didn't try between 50 and 100). So long story short, the slower the network connection, the longer the sleep has to be to get things working, which gives me the feeling it's not a normal 'two things happening at nearly the same time' kind of problem.

It ignores the URL argument if the HTTP content says multipart/form-data. It's a couple of years since I worked with this stuff and I don't POST files in any of my active applications, so I'm a little hazy on why it's there - possibly to test the form decoding components when someone in this mailing list was having a problem.
