Hi Tom
How about creating a crawler script that "downloads" all files in
the dms locally on the server (to save bandwidth and gain speed)?
Like so you could be pretty sure that the files in the cache are
not corrupt.
Thought about this too - but
a) on a large site with high traffic and +200 downloads it is very
likely that a download is triggered and canceled before the script
reaches all files
b) see below
On the other hand if you update the site twice a day this script
would have to run pretty often... :-(
Concerning the bug: I'm wondering if this applies to data in the
website repository too? Webpages, images, documents stored in the
website repository are not delivered by the same servlet IIRC. But
it would be interesting to see if these files suffer from the same
shortcomings.
Yes unfortunately it does - cache implementation is the same. So
beware of big downloads in combination with inpatient users (or
testers...)

Hi David
Thanks very much for your insights.
After poking around a lot I seem to have tracked down the issue
that is giving the headaches:
Whenever a client is stopping the initial download of a file, the
created cache results in a corrupt file.
ie: if I download a (so far uncached) large pdf of 4mb and click
on cancel in the download manager at 2mb the cached file has only
a size of 2mb and naturally all subsequential downloads will
receive a incomplete/corrupted file.
this on its own is already annoying - now toss in IE7 and
downloads with a meta refresh to make 90% of your downloads
corrupt. tasty!
So the only way to guarantee that this won't happen anymore is to
totally disable cache on the dms (or wherever your downloads are
stored) - which also rather s*cks.
Has someone an idea how to avoid this issue and still be able to
work with caching?
Does this qualify as a bug and should I file a jira-entry?
brgds, Thomas
