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. [NP] I'm pretty sure OpenCMS is handling it. I don't have Apache installed in my test rig and can upload smaller files. 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? [NP] Yes. I've been able to upload a 1.9ish GB file but anything over 2GB and it fails. The file upload form - does it come from OpenCMS? [NP] Yes. 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. [NP] I've tried these but they had no effect. Do 400 vs 413 errors change randomly? [NP] Yes. I can fathom no pattern to them. In fact, the only way I can actually see them is to packet trace the HTTP exchange. 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. [NP] Don't think this is it. Not seeing any login issues. 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. [NP] Can't say on this one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
