Package: cups Version: 1.4.4-1 Severity: grave [I'm setting the severity to "grave" mainly because cups does more than 100 HTTP posts per second to the remote server, and this is really bad because the server is shared amongst many users.]
While cups 1.4.3-1 works fine (I could check by downgrading to this
version), cups 1.4.4-1 no longer works with http. A strace shows
errors like:
16:07:02 sendto(3, "POST / HTTP/1.1\r\nContent-Length:"..., 153, 0, NULL, 0) =
153
16:07:02 sendto(3, "\...@\2\0\0\0\1\1g\0\22attributes-charset\0\5"..., 636, 0,
NULL, 0) = 636
16:07:02 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 1 ([{fd=3,
revents=POLLIN|POLLERR}])
16:07:02 recvfrom(3, "HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required\r\nD"..., 2048, 0, NULL,
NULL) = 787
16:07:02 close(3) = 0
with commands such as lpq, lpr, lpstat.
Sometimes there are lots of such errors. For instance, a
strace -t lpstat
shows 3868 such errors after 30 seconds (see attached strace output,
compressed with xz). Sometimes the connection freezes. For instance:
16:07:02 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
16:07:02 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
16:07:02 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0
16:07:02 fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
16:07:02 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631),
sin_addr=inet_addr("140.77.14.157")}, 16) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
16:07:13 --- SIGINT (Interrupt) @ 0 (0) ---
16:07:13 +++ killed by SIGINT +++
Perhaps the server didn't like all the requests that were done
previously.
The only parameter in /etc/cups/client.conf is a ServerName line
with the server name.
