Processing of multipart/form-data request failed. Read timed out

[Stan Pinte <st...@axone.be>]

hello,

I am using the fileupload component within the struts framework.

I have some users having extremely frequently the following problem:

INFO   | jvm 1    | 2004/06/28 09:51:34 |
org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: Processing of
multipart/form-data request failed. Read timed out

I saw that it has already been debated on the list:

http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg03393.html

however, the solution suggested was not to parse the File, if no
filename was given.

As I am working with struts, the FileUpload is being done earlier in the
~ struts processing:

INFO   | jvm 1    | 2004/06/28 07:45:50 |

t.service(HttpServlet.java:760)

Any idea why it does occur, and how I could cure it?

For me, it sound like a bug in RFC 1867 handling...and it must be at one
of two ends:

client-side, or server-side. Server-side, the culprit could be the
servlet implementation used (Jetty in that case, but the other case uses
Tomcat), or FileUpload.

An interesting detail: both me and the above cited thread use SSL.

would SSL break file uploads?

thanks a lot,

Stan.
