As a sidenote: when providing an upload facility for users it it
better to implement some sort of feedback to the users, otherwise the
user may think the application is hanging. I'm looking at the
progressbar solution (no flash component needed) given in web2py slice
10, but I haven't got it working completely (FF more or less ok,
Chrome not working, has its own feedback on uploads, IE not tested).
When testing I occasionally get the same error.
I tested the above db example, I did reproduce the error once when
using large (1Gb) files using Debian server, Web2py 1.91.4, Apache
2.0, with SLL and mod_wsgi. But in most cases the session timed out at
different points in time. I used Chrome to test. I propose to use a
minimal controller to test, leaving the database out of the equation:
def post():
form = FORM(TABLE(
TR('File:', INPUT(_type='file', _name='file',
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())),
TR('', INPUT(_type='submit', _value='SUBMIT')),
))
return dict(form=form)
With this test FF and Chrome time-out one the big file, after some
minutes, even crash sometimes. Smaller files (8Mb, 20Mb) work fine.
Will investigate further on Debian and Windows 2003 and try to
produces give a reproducible time-out example.
