Sporadically broken Download for 2.2.13 windows binaries
Hi,
I observed strange behaviour for the Windows 2.2.13 binary download.
Retrieving it with Firefox and with MSIE 8 directly from
http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.2.13-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8k.msi
stopped downloading after 4.923.392 Bytes instead of 6.034.944 Bytes.
Both browsers stopped after exactly the same size. The resulting file
was obviously corrupt.
Downloading with wget did the job. I could reproduce the problem twice
with Firefox, but the third time it worked and retrieved the full file.
No error message from the browsers, but yet another test using curl reveals:
curl: (18) transfer closed with 1111552 bytes remaining to read
So I tried again with curl, now instead of using Windows on Solaris and
a different curl version. Same problem, same point where the file stops
to download.
HTTP Headers seem to be fine, version of httpd on the server is 2.2.12,
IP adress used for archive.a.o was 140.211.11.130.
So it seems the archive server, file, config or combination of it all is
broken.
Can anyone confirm the problem, so I might inform infra?
Regards,
Rainer

I'm not sure about the Firefox test, but my wget test was indeed
pulling from the same server, 140.211.11.130. I also saw what Ranier
saw in that the Length: HTTP header was correct.

Although this would usually be an infra issue, and perhaps it is so I'm
copying them as well, we do create that server that archive.a.o, www.a.o
uses. Ken, we are presuming you were downloading from one of the two,
and not from a mirror? Ranier was clearly using archive.a.o.

I had the problem too. My download stopped at 4,931,584 bytes. I'm
using Firefox 3.5.2 on Fedora 11.
wget yielded an interesting error. It paused and printed:
2009-08-25 20:24:19 (60.5 KB/s) - Connection closed at byte 4923392. Retrying.
and continued the rest of the download successfully (gpg signature
checks out ok).
