Re: Witango-Talk: Corrupted HTTP uploads fixed - what next??

Just keep in mind Nicholas that you'll need to set the MTU every time you start the Mac.

IP Net Tuner has a feature which creates a 'script' from the settings you used which you can put into your statup folder.

Could be that the MTU settings are mis-matched. This often happens for TCP/IP DSL connections. You want your MTU to be as large as possible for high speed connections, but DSL cannot support the full size MTU, so one usually has to drop this back.

I searched my WebSTAR mail folder for MTU and came across a recommendation for IP NetTuner from Sustainable Softworks

I downloaded it, ran it, tested HTTP upload - and guess what? It worked first time...

Thank you Anthony, and thanks to everyone on this great list!

BTW I used the default DSL "tune=up" to make it work

It sounds like your ISP's system is very critical of the HTTP Header that
pass through it.

This might help shed some light on the upload problem:

Hope this helps a little. Cheers...

I think you have hit the nail on the head. NTL use Inktomi Proxies in the UK and the caching of images, in particular, makes life very difficult when testing. And it seems as though there is no "Proxy-Free" option

By contrast, BT Openworld (probably the worst Telecoms Provider and ISP in the known world) had no such problems, which is just as well because I believe that _all_ UK broadband connections are provided by BT's system - excepting cable suppliers like NTL and a few independent ISPs using their own hardware colocated in BT exchanges

I have reported the fault to NTL, but their email fault reporting system "Doesn't work" and they're hopelessly understaffed. It's just the typical UK ineptness we have to put up with!

Is there a debugging app that runs on Mac OS Classic? I could try verbose logging on the server (WebSTAR 4), but I don't know if I could interpret the results
