Nginx Terminates at 71.6 kilobytes

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I am using the latest development version of nginx (0.8.36) on
Debian Lenny x86.

For some reason, my nginx installation is not allowing
files larger than 71.6 kilobytes to transfer. A larger file simply just
transfers the first 71.6 kilobytes and then terminates.

Any suggestions
on what I can do would be helpful.

Thank you,

Shahan

Is anything in error_log ?

The error wasn’t nginx’s fault. I the temporary cache directory ran out
of space.

Thanks,

The same thing happened to me ~1 year ago, but I didn’t reported it.
When you run out of space, nginx only serves the first
proxy_buffer_size kb from the response. This was the source of
corruption of part of my images during a backup done through nginx.

IMO in this case nginx should answer with a 50x .

Maybe a nginx feature that should be added is when the temporary cache
directory runs out of space, nginx disable the proxy cache buffer and
also
disables gzip encoding.

I personally disagree, it’s quite normal (if not expected!) for software
to
stop working upon disk fill-up, and trying to recover smartly from this
(and
then maybe a few million other issues) would make it more complex, less
mantainable and slower.

+1 for returning a 500 instead, and logging the error as critical if it
doesn’t already.
