I Tried the two settings, independently: 1) changes the line "ForceType text/html" to "ForceType tex/plain" in my .htaccess.
2) put a line "EnableSendFile off" in my .htaccess (.htaccess is located at the parent directory of the directory which contains the 256 bytes header file). In the first case, I got in all the four accesses the correct response (omitting the HTTP headers) <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Index of /test_mod_auto_index/256</title> </head> <body> <pre> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX </pre> <pre><img src="/icons/blank.gif" alt="Icon " width="20" height="22"> <a href="?C=N;O=D">Name</a> <a href="?C=M;O=A">Last modified</a> <a href="?C=S;O=A">Size</a> <a href="?C=D;O=A">Description</a><hr><img src="/icons/back.gif" alt="[DIR]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="/test_mod_auto_index/">Parent Directory</a> - <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="1">1</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:11 0 <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="2">2</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:11 0 <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="3">3</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:11 0 <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="KUKU">KUKU</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:20 256 <hr></pre> <address>Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8d PHP/4.4.4 Server at <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">www.math.technion.ac.il</a> Port 80</address> </body></html> In the second case, I got all the four accesses the correct response (omitting the HTTP headers) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX <pre><img src="/icons/blank.gif" alt="Icon " width="20" height="22"> <a href="?C=N;O=D">Name</a> <a href="?C=M;O=A">Last modified</a> <a href="?C=S;O=A">Size</a> <a href="?C=D;O=A">Description</a><hr><img src="/icons/back.gif" alt="[DIR]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="/test_mod_auto_index/">Parent Directory</a> - <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="1">1</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:11 0 <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="2">2</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:11 0 <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="3">3</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:11 0 <img src="/icons/text.gif" alt="[TXT]" width="20" height="22"> <a href="KUKU">KUKU</a> 14-Jan-2007 14:20 256 <hr></pre> <address>Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8d PHP/4.4.4 Server at <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">www.math.technion.ac.il</a> Port 443</address> </body></html> The diffrence between the two responses comes from the fact that I have the setting "IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble", which explains the extra lines before the X's if the Header is of type text/plain, lines which are suppressed if the Header is of type text/html. Since I need to use HeaderFile of mime type text/html (I use normally the .html extension and add the necessary HTML code), it seems the solution to the problem is to use in Solaris system the directive "EnableSendFile off" . Note that my document root is *not* network mounted. So, I suggest to add SOLARIS to the list of systems where sendfile should be disabled for files over 256 bytes! It is surprising that this problem is not exhibited in httpd 2.0.59, although this directive was introduced already in 2.0.44 according to the manual. In any case, thank you for pointing this directive to me. | Thanks, Zvi. | Ruediger Pluem wrote, On 18/01/07 21:55: > On 01/18/2007 01:28 PM, Zvi Har'El wrote: > >> I believe this is really a problem of the HTTP client protocol level. in >> HTTP/1.1 we get a failure, and HTTP/1.0 or HTTPS (1.1 or 1.0) success, >> for example: >> > > Could you please do the following tests independently: > > 1.
