Hi, I also want to add that when I check the tomcat access log, I get: 10.206.90.6 - - [30/Jun/2011:11:37:16 +0300] "GET /bundles/vacc-AOS701b318-fl.tgz HTTP/1.0" 200 - On the large file, the client receives error. How can this be? Is this a problem with the client? Though I tried other clients and it didn't work as well. And also ftp works fine.

Any other ideas what can get wrong, which configuration I need for the big file to be loaded successfully?

This is correct; NIO does support sendfile, as does APR. > As I mentioned before, I am defining the static context > under Engine->Host->Context: Which is not recommended, since you're modifying server.xml for a specific webapp. Better to place the <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/bundles.xml, with just a docBase attribute. I'd recommend using an absolute path for docBase, since a relative one is dependent on how you start Tomcat. > This does not correspond to a specific connector Requests received over a <Connector> with useSendfile set will be processed with sendfile, those received on a <Connector> without sendfile capability won't use it. If you use the NIO class for all of your HTTP or HTTPS <Connector> elements, you'll get sendfile by default. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
