I have a Perl file upload script I'd been using for years under Apache 1 in Tiger. I haven't
modified it in ages. No mod_perl, just CGI.pm and the default Perl installation. It's always worked
fine for files of any size (some as many as a gigabyte and taking more than an hour to upload), but
since upgrading to Leopard, with its Apache2 nonsense, the script fails on large files -- anything
over a megabyte -- with this being output to the browser:
"CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?).".
This is the only error message logged, too. I've tested this with multiple clients on different
operating systems and it's the same every time, unless the file's smaller than 1MB, in which case
the script executes as it should. I added a debugging line to the upload hook that runs when I first
create my CGI query object, and it reports the bytes increasing up to a point, after which it keeps
logging these messages but the number of bytes stays static. It's never the exact same number but
the files always seem to fail above 1 megabyte, with about 1.4 being the upper limit I've seen so far.
Any ideas? Thanks
