apache will not stream a large file. server is syrinx. client is install-qrbldsp. This happens with all versions including 2.0.43.

I go to another machine and try to get these files. I can retrieve the small one just fine. The large one doesn't go so well: [jhf@install-qrbldsp]:/tmp> telnet syrinx 80 Trying 129.146.89.216...

I got lucky and picked the right http process to truss.. Here's what it gets: # truss -p -f 4924 4924: accept(16, 0xFFBEF9C4, 0xFFBEF9D4, 1) (sleeping...) 4924: accept(16, 0xFFBEF9C4, 0xFFBEF9D4, 1) = 5 4924: fcntl(18, F_SETLKW, 0x00071158) = 0 4924: sigaction(SIGUSR1, 0xFFBEF888, 0xFFBEF908) = 0 4924: getsockname(5, 0xFFBEF9B4, 0xFFBEF9D4, 1) = 0 4924: setsockopt(5, 6, 1, 0xFFBEF944, 4, 1) = 0 4924: read(5, 0x00083D50, 4096) (sleeping...) 4924: read(5, " G E T / n i / h u g e".., 4096) = 27 4924: sigaction(SIGUSR1, 0xFFBED7B8, 0xFFBED838) = 0 4924: time() = 974338384 4924: read(5, " H o s t : s y r i n x".., 4096) = 14 4924: read(5, 0x00083D50, 4096) (sleeping...) 4924: read(5, "\r\n", 4096) = 2 4924: stat("/export/ni/hugefile", 0x000EBCE8) Err#79 EOVERFLOW 4924: time() = 974338385 4924: write(15, " [ W e d N o v 1 5 ".., 131) = 131 4924: write(5, " H T T P / 1 . 1 4 0 3".., 461) = 461 4924: time() = 974338385 4924: write(17, " 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 9 0 . 6".., 83) = 83 4924: shutdown(5, 1, 1) = 0 4924: poll(0xFFBEF618, 1, 2000) = 1 4924: read(5, 0xFFBEF6C0, 512) = 0 4924: close(5) = 0 4924: sigaction(SIGUSR1, 0xFFBEF888, 0xFFBEF908) = 0 4924: fcntl(18, F_SETLKW, 0x0007117C) (sleeping...) So it's an EOVERFLOW.
This will not be addressed in the 1.3 tree. 2.x is much better at this and would be easier to get around the assumptions of the size of signed ints.
