9232,problems with streaming files uplod with Django 1.0,Faheem Mitha,nobody,"Hi,
I just upgraded to Django 1.0, and I've just finished fixing all my
unit tests. However, streaming file uploads are still broken. The
behaviour I'm seeing is as follows:
When I start the upload of the file, a file which looks like
eg. `/tmp/tmpGjWpee.upload` appears almost immediately, but does not
change in size thereafter. The size is either empty or 16M - 16M most
of the time. I haven't seen any other values appear. The file upload
completes some of the time, regardless, but is very slow. For very
large files, like 1g, it took so long I stopped it.
I've seen this behavior on two independent installations of 1.0, with
the same project/application. I have a different installation with a
pre-1.0 snapshot with a patch from #2070 applied, and that works fine
with an earlier version of the same model/application, with the
temporary file in `/tmp` appearing and growing in size as the upload
progresses, as expected.
I've created a small test project which shows the behavior, which I
attach. This was used on Debian with a source installation of Django
1.0, and Apache 2 with the mod_wsgi module.
The apache config appears
below. This is on Debian etch, with the following installed.
