Hi, I’ve been using a CGI perl script to upload files on our web server. The server is Windows 2003, IIS. The program works great, especially after I discovered binmode.

My problem is that I can’t get large files to work.

I’ve played with the buffer, filesize, that doesn’t seem to be the issue.

Here’s the test results, all using the same script on various Windows servers:

Test 1
Server:.........Windows 2003, IIS on web.
Connection:.....384kbs upstream
Result:.........Files over 8 to 10Mb don’t upload

Test 2
Server:.........Windows 2003, IIS on web.
Connection:.....768kbs upstream
Result:.........Files over 18 to 21Mb don’t upload

Test 3
Server:.........Windows 2000 Advanced Server, IIS on LAN.
Connection:.....Gigabit LAN
Result:.........Seems to be no limit on size.

What the results look like to me, is that the browser is timing out, waiting for the upload to finish.

If that’s the case, any ideas on the fix?

Thanks,

Wowski
