1. Tomcat 6 does not handle file upload by itself (if you are using
Content-Type="multipart/form-data"). It can only provide
request.getInputStream() and something else has to consume it.
Usually that will be Apache Commons Fileupload library, but you will
have to check what OpenMS uses.
I do not remember what default configuration of Fileupload library is.
Certainly such big files have to go into a temporary folder, but I do
not remember whether it is configured by default. Tomcat startup
script sets java.io.tmpdir property to point to "$CATALINA_BASE/temp".
Are you able to upload big files that are more than 512Mb, but less than 2Gb?
The file upload form - does it come from OpenCMS?
2. It is possible to configure "connectionUploadTimeout" and
"disableUploadTimeout" on a Connector. I cannot say for sure how much
relevant are they to those 400 and 413 errors.
Do 400 vs 413 errors change randomly?
3. If FORM authentication is used, it usually saves request before
displaying the login form. This request is saved in memory and its
size is very limited (several Kb).
If your session expires when you submit your file I think you will see
an error because of that limit.
4. If file size is >2Gb then the method
"response.setContentLength(int)" cannot be used. One has to use
response.setHeader("Content-Length", Long.toString(length)); That is
the only thing in API that I remember that is relevant to handling
files > 2Gb.
