large file uploads fail with server not found error

           Summary: large file uploads fail with server not found error
           Product: Tomcat 3
           Version: 3.3.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown

Hi

I'm running 3.3.1a on Windows NT under JDK1.4.2, and testing using MSIE6SP1 and 
Mozilla Firebird 1.3.


Other bugs related to this one : 3983, 6143.

I am uploading large files and decoding the POST using the MultipartParser from 
the "common o'reilly servlets" package (www.servlets.com).
I place a limit on the upload file size and generate an error when the size 
exceeds the bound.

When I exceed a certain size (somewhere between 10k and 10M) the browser starts 
showing "server not found" errors.

I find that I can fix this by reading the rest of the input stream before 
generating a response.
What I suspect is happening (based on the other bug reports) is that the 
browser is getting confused by the response when it has not finished sending
all of it's data.

I am logging it again because, despite the indications in the other bug entries,
it is not fixed.

Thanks.
