My intuition says they may be related.
Problem 1: Witango provides wrong LENGTH value with some files.
Problem 2: When content-length is off by 1 byte, some browsers will have
problems. What kind of problems was not stated.
Robert said on rare cases when happened, it was specific to a file.
Robert - Did this problem only happen with PDFs or other file types too?
When you have the problem, did the file download successfully but not
open via browser, or could not get to open in windows at all?
Bill - With these MacOS9 uploaded PDFs, did Witango provide the wrong
LENGTH value? Would they just not open via the browser, or could not be
opened at all in windows?

That makes sense, but that wasn't the issue I saw. This was a huge pdf
library, loaded into db myself from disk. When witango did the length of
the data retrieved from db, sometimes off, rare, but it happens. Also,
it would happen on the same pdf over and over, and none of the others.
When using binary length function from mysql, no issues. Or, when
populating the database with a LENGTH value, calculating from RB on the
way, no issue. The difference was usually 1 byte.
