Re^5: File download tool, file size issues, cgi-application

The only hint you'll likely be able to get is the reported download size. The log should say something like

#ip address  ...  request                   status code  size  ...
10.10.10.10  ...  "GET /your/file HTTP/1.0" 200          65536  ...
[download]

The "size" field gives you the bytes sent. If the connection was broken mid-way, that value will be lower than your file size.

See Apache access log for the full details.

Also watch out for status code 206, it is the "Partial Content" status code. In other words, it means the browser asked for a byte-range of data because it already had some data (e.g.: if the connection was interrupted during the download). So your log may also have a status code 206 and the size won't match the total file size... Oh, wouldn't it be easier if your ISP allowed "full" CGIs?? :-P	[reply]
