Witango-Talk: HTTP Upload

Sat, 22 Mar 2003 03:57:26 -0800

I normally don't use http upload for many reasons, but I had to do a quick and dirty solution for a client. They must be able to upload MP3 files to our servers. The files range from 10-20 megs. Before I put this into production, I wanted to test the load it would put on my servers. My app uses witango to accept the file argument, and write it to a file where I want it. I am running Witango 054 and IIS 5 on windows 2000. During the upload, the server pegs 100% CPU usage, dllhost.exe and inetinfo.exe being the culprits. Witango only spikes when the upload is done to write the file.

Since I have only used http upload with very small files in the past, I have never noticed this. This is totally unacceptable. If I upload the same file to the same IIS Server using IIS WebDav, it doesn't break a sweat, 1-2% CPU Usage. I can't recall every testing this with other web servers, does anyone else have any info with apache or Webstar?

It looks like I will have to write a custom desktop app for this client's admin, which I did not want to do. If anyone knows of any IIS 5 tweaks that may help, I would appreciate it. My systems are completely patched once a week.
