Also, I used to use Rocket on a low-traffic production server running on AWS linux, but had occasional issues with big files, especially from a Windows client using WinInet calls. The issue was at least in part the signalling of the end of transfer; the client generally got finished and went back to minding its own business while the server sat around waiting for completion, and eventually timing out. I also had problems with the system breaking after an update of my LetsEncrypt certificates (I don't think I figured out what broke). For those reasons, I switched to NginX, and have been very happy. Basic setup is quite easy (the sample installation scripts were pretty close to what I did -- I cribbed heavily from them; for AWS it was a matter of combining part of the Ubunto with part of the Centos scripts. For more detail on my experiences, <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/lSdsqHLftVQ/Hf1j7z5jCwAJ> that connects to a thread about the Rocket server hanging (headlined as "crash") in <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/dTK5lxWBsIA/3sIYnwMsBwAJ> In the client-happy-server-logs-a-timeout scenario, the file eventually showed up in the download dir; I don't remember if the database entry was completed. Rocket (in it's web2py fork) have been pretty stable for a long time, and I think it is unlikely to get much maintenance until a security issue shows up. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
