After re-reading the original description you should probably be aware of this portion of the javadocs for request.getParameter:

<quote>
If the parameter data was sent in the request body, such as occurs with an HTTP POST request, then reading the body directly via getInputStream() or getReader() can interfere with the execution of this method.
</quote>

The reverse is probably true, too. The getParameter call probably affects the reading of body data for POSTs. Are the parameters you need in the query string? If so you may need to parse that yourself instead.

The above may not be the problem. But...

It's funny you should say that. maxHttpHeaderSize is the incorrect parameter to 
use in this case, but I noticed that by changing the size of this header 
parameter, I was able to send larger files, although not consistently. But what 
I don't understand is how this parameter is affecting the size of the received 
data. There is clearly a bug here, but I just can't put my finger on what 
exactly the bug is.

Look for the value of "maxHttpHeaderSize"  in your server.xml in the 
CATALINA_HOME/conf diretory. I had a similar problem.

Betreff: Re: InputBuffer and Posting Data


What is buf.length? Is it the actual length of the data you want to post or is it 8k? The data you receive on the Tomcat side may be truncated by the Connector if the body data is longer than the value set for the Content-Length header.

HTH,

Hi all,

I am trying to post some data via an applet to a JSP running on Tomcat
5.5.16. In my applet code, I am setting the following:

postConn.setRequestMethod("POST");

postConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", (buf.length) + "");

postConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");

Now, on the server side, I am retrieving my actual data by using the
ServletInputStream gathered from request.getInputStream() method. The
connection also contains some query parameters, which I am retrieving on
the server side using request.getParameter().

Now, irrespective of the size of the data that I post, the
ServletInputStream is truncating the data to a size of 8K (for files
greater than that size, smaller files are the received correctly). I
understand, after going through the source code, that the Request class
uses the InputBuffer class for reading from this stream and the default
size of the buffer for this operation is 8K. However, I would have
expected this buffer to grow, if the data was larger than this default,
but this is not happening.

Is there a setting to increase this buffer automatically that I need to
set? Alternatively, is there a setting that I need to set that will set
the default to a larger value? I have searched and searched and cannot
find anything.

Thanks,

Vikram
