Which process was taking up the cpu?

I tried this on a XP box with apache. IT has 640 megs of ram and a 2.0ghz p4 and my cpu usage went up to 100% so its not an issue with IIS.

I haven't done enough testing yet, but I don't think this is a Witango
issue, but a IIS 5 issue.

It would really help if someone had a IIS 5 server using http upload
that can test this, so I dont have to set that up.

I'd be very interested as to whether this is purely a Windows/Witango

totally unacceptable that there is anything more than a few percentage

servers when I upgrade to Wi5 in the next week or so, as I have a
number of apps that will require this service.

Maybe With has a comment on this one....??

Thats not the issue. The issue is having a solution for a client that

 is not savvy enough to use an ftp client. I already use webdav in
such  a way that they could connect with a webfolder from windows, or

 directly from OS X. But these are people that can only be expected
to  work with a single interface, and click a few buttons. Using HTTP

 Upload is very simple and suits that. But HTTP Upload has other
problems, and this CPU Usage issue now knocks it completely off my
list.

Why not just put up a ftp server instead of using http. Ftp protocol

is
a lot faster than http for uploading and puts less strain on the
server.
Windows 2000 comes with a ftpd built in and if your client doesn't
have
a ftp client they can download a trial from like www.globalscape.com

 for
cuteftp.

Subject: Witango-Talk: HTTP Upload

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.
