ImageIO is not used. The pictures are saved as they are without modification.

At first I was hunting the problem at step 1)
After a while I figured out, that it is indeed happening in 2)
The following sample reproduces the orphaned file handle under Windows:
<%@page import="java.io.*"%>
<%@page import="java.net.*"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.coyote.Constants"%>
<%
String fileName = "c:\\temp\\test.png";
File file = new File(fileName);
long l = file.length();
request.setAttribute(Constants.SENDFILE_FILENAME_ATTR,
file.getAbsolutePath());
request.setAttribute(Constants.SENDFILE_FILE_START_ATTR, 0L);
request.setAttribute(Constants.SENDFILE_FILE_END_ATTR, l);
response.setHeader("Content-Length", Long.toString(l));
response.setContentType(URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(fileName));
response.flushBuffer();

Problem goes away when I stream it manually via commons-io:
IOUtils.copy(is, response.getOutputStream());
The handle gets opened via this code within Http2AsyncUpgradeHandler.java:
protected SendfileState processSendfile(SendfileData sendfile) {
if (sendfile != null) {
try {
try (FileChannel channel = FileChannel.open(sendfile.path,
StandardOpenOption.READ)) {
sendfile.mappedBuffer = channel.map(MapMode.READ_ONLY,
sendfile.pos, sendfile.end - sendfile.pos);
}
......
In the meantime I stumbled upon this bug-Report:
https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4715154
So maybe the problem lies even deeper.
Similar description here:
https://cemerick.com/blog/2006/08/30/memory-mapping-files-in-java-causes-problems.html
Some ppl suggest to use java.lang.ref.Cleaner or don’t use Memory-Mapped files
under Windows.
I don’t know if there are other solutions.
Greetings,
Thomas
