File Upload Causes Tomcat-Apache to Block

           Summary: File Upload Causes Tomcat-Apache to Block
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Connector:JK/AJP
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: andy.dowling@framework.ie


Hi folks,

I've got the nightly build of apache-tomcat, running as a standalone server and 
with the Apache Server (via AJP13).

File uploads are OK with the standalone server, but with AJP13, the first call
to read() on the HttpServletRequest's associated Reader object 
(i.e. in order to get the file upload info) will cause the servlet to block.

Note 1: this problem can be replicated on Tomcat 4.0.4 beta 2
Note 2: I couldn't replicate this problem with Tomcat 3.2.1.

Sample code is attached.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Andy
