Re: other/504: "Send lost connection" (fwd)

more timeout problems? 

BTW I think I've got 502 solved.  rfc1413.c is the culprit and I'm going
to submit a workaround for 1.2 shortly.

Unfortunately it happens with smallish files (less than 50K) and
I can make it happen to me and I don't click the stop button,
so I know that isn't causing the transfer to terminate.

>From the client side (Netscape Gold 3.0) it appears to be 
downloading normally, but then reports "Done" -- but no document 
on screen.  httpd error log then reports "send lost connection."  
We have several machines on campus running apache and it seems 
to be happening on all of them.  A couple of machines running 
ncsa's httpd serving the same files never show this behavior.
We're stumped!

Re: other/504: "Send lost connection" (fwd)

Posted by Marc Slemko <ma...@worldgate.com>.
One of their files is a PDF file... the byte-range messups could perhaps
cause that, especially if using a version of Apache before the fix.

Unfortunately, they are using 1.2 and we don't have the 1.2 code available
to us yet since it hasn't been released.
