Hello,
I'm using tomcat 8.5.15 and spring 4.3.3 framework for our server application
(hosted on centos 6 machines). I have noticed we get the below exception
(java.net.SocketTimeoutException) when people are downloading files from our
server that are over 500 mb (many of the files are around a gb in size).
Usually the behavior on the browser (firefox or chrome) is the download
completes but the file is corrupt (zip in this case). The file size is off by
10mb each time. I've verified the actual files are valid on the servers file
system. The only workaround I've found is to increase the connection timeout
from 20seconds to 180 seconds (although I'm not sure why this would even
matter). This seems to have fixed the issue, even though today we found another
case after the timeout was increased where the issue resurfaced.
* This only seems to happen on our application when the downloads go over
internet/network. Our local builds of the server application do not reproduce
the problem.
* I've confirmed that firefox and chrome have the same issue and are not
aborting the connection/download.
* I've attached the relevant stack trace, tomcat connector settings,
relevant spring settings, and the code that does the sending of the file.
Any help or suggestions for troubleshooting would be much appreciated!

Below is my connector settings (fairly default)
Below is the spring bean we use for handling the multi part file upload
* I'm aware of
spring.http.multipart.max-file-size,pring.http.multipart.max-request-size and
confirmed they are not set, resulting in the default of -1 being used for both.
Below is the actual code we use to send the file to the client
public static void setDownloadContentHeaders(String fileName, boolean
forceDownload, HttpServletResponse response, HttpServletRequest request) {
response.setContentType(request.getServletContext().getMimeType(fileName));
String contentDisposition = forceDownload ? "attachment" : "inline";
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition + ";
filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
}
public void sendFile(String path, boolean forceDownload, HttpServletRequest
request, HttpServletResponse response) {
try {
// File to be downloaded
File downloadFile = getFile(path); //this method just loads the file from
disk
if (!downloadFile.exists()) {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
return;
}
try(InputStream fis = new FileInputStream(downloadFile)) {
// Serve individual file
