Hi, I am developing an application that needs to return a big report page, with a lot of data. We were testing the application using the integrated rocket server, and the report was working correctly when accessing the app on the local network.
However, when connection from the outside via a DSL router, making a NAT to the web2py http server, the response page gets truncated after about 15-30 seconds (could not determine an exact period). The browser stops receiving data, and the page is truncated. Capturing traffic with wireshark shows the remote end is finishing the connection (FIN flag set) before sending all data, but the Content-Length header was correctly set to a higher value. The problem dissapears when running web2py with lighttpd via FastCGI. The truncate problem also dissapears if instead of accessing directly to the web server, we make a SSH tunnel to the Linux machine hosting the web2py application, and requesting the report though the tunnel, but probably the SSH tunnel is retrieving the full page, then buffering it through the tunnel. Has anybody hit the same problem? It there a maximum response time for rocket server? I found there is a maximum request time, but the request is being processed quite fast, less than 1 second. The problem is *sending* the response, which is getting longer. Thanks. --
