sploders101 opened a new issue #2244: Couchdb sends more than requested range in attachments URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2244 [NOTE]: # ( ^^ Provide a general summary of the issue in the title above. ^^ ) ## Description When performing a request for a partial attachment, Couchdb starts at the correct file location, but sends more data than the Content-Length header suggests, causing an error in some http clients. [NOTE]: # ( Describe the problem you're encountering. ) [TIP]: # ( Do NOT give us access or passwords to your actual CouchDB! ) ## Steps to Reproduce Upload a large text file as an attachment to a couchdb instance Run: ```bash nc 127.0.0.1 5984 ``` and send this data, substituting your information. ``` GET /db/doc/attachment.ext HTTP/1.1 Range: bytes=1-4 Host: 127.0.0.1:5984 Connection: close ``` [NOTE]: # ( Include commands to reproduce, if possible. curl is preferred. ) ## Expected Behaviour CouchDB should send *only* the requested bytes. [NOTE]: # ( Tell us what you expected to happen. ) ## Your Environment Fresh install [TIP]: # ( Include as many relevant details about your environment as possible. ) [TIP]: # ( You can paste the output of curl http://YOUR-COUCHDB:5984/ here. ) * CouchDB Version used: 2.3.1 * Browser name and version: N/A * Operating System and version: Linux (docker image couchdb:latest) ## Additional context The specific type of attachment I'm using is an asar archive. I am attempting to read files from it without downloading the entire thing, and storing it to the fs/ram. It has a Content-Type of `application/octet-stream` in the database. I am using node.js http.request function as my http client, but this is reproducible with any client that doesn't close the connection after `Content-Length` bytes. [TIP]: # ( Add any other context about the prbolem here. )
