Hello! I have noticed that apache1.3.14 as built from the port collection on a FreeBSD 3.5.1-RELEASE box has the following [mis]behavior: When a .pdf file is requested, first just a small part of it is transferred The log file shows two records (both with a code of "206" and the amount of transferred bytes smaller then the full size): remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:40:24 -0500] "GET /~user/cv.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 12445 remote.host- - [31/Oct/2000:11:40:28 -0500] "GET /~user/cv.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 1121 Netscape communicator (with an Acrobat plugin) (4.75, an other 4.7x versions on winNT, MacOS-9, and Irix) is used in all tests. At times, on NT and on Mac the Netscape client was hanging completely. When it is loading the file, first it is showing : xx% of FF kB, where FF is the full file size, then it disappears, and xx% of NN kB flashes, where NN kB is the size that is smaller than the full file size, and corresponds to the files logged in the access.log as mentioned above. On the second request the file is usually served just alright. I found that the same problems were reported to APACHE project with the same problem while using MSIE. (http://search.apache.org/) Reports #: 6711, 6715 6761, 6766) After downgrading to 1.3.12 I found that there are no more problems with this. The Netscape shows similar indicator numbers as before, and the log shows partial transfers (which I think correspond to a partial pages, because the second set of message appeared after I scrolled the pages in the document. remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:57:22 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 200 0 remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:57:23 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 12444 remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:57:27 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 1121 remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:57:27 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 235 remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:58:08 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 3748 remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:58:09 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 4235 remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:58:10 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 6116 remote.host - - [31/Oct/2000:11:58:13 -0500] "GET /~igor/CV.pdf HTTP/1.0" 206 1723 Regards, Igor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
