>Number: 747 >Category: mod_proxy >Synopsis: Incomplete files cuted by broken transmission are proxy-cached. >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache (Apache HTTP Project) >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Wed Jun 18 06:40:01 1997 >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.2 >Environment: Solaris 2.4: SunOS ns 5.4 Generic_101945-43 sun4m sparc gcc version 2.7.2.2. The problem was experienced also in Apache 1.2b8, 1.2.b10. I have not tested other versions. >Description: Problem is mabye similar to 314, but files are not to short, but incomplete. The file may have even several hundreds of kilobytes.
When transmission breaks during loading a file, file stays cuted on local harddisk (using Netscape 3.0) and in Apache cache. Pressing "Reload" or trying iniciate transfer from another machine ends with receiving uncomplete file from Apache proxy cache. There is no way of deleting such file from WWW browser. The only solution for user is to disable cache in browser and reload file again. This cleans browser, but not Apache proxy. It happened to ftp like file transfers but also to gif being part of html page. >How-To-Repeat: I have 1Mb/s link and this problem is not easy to reproduce. It happens once for few days on slow connections to other sites. But not always. >Fix: Mabye check the status of incompete files in proxy cache and what happens when the transfer is stopped by network (not by user). Is the status changed in this situation? Is there any difference in status of complete nad uncomplete file%3 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
