Narrowing Down A Strange Problem 2004-09-15 - By David P. Donahue
Before I get into the details of my problem, let me specify that it is
my belief that the Apache software (version 1.3.31) is _not_ at fault
for this and I am just looking to either: 1) confirm that and look for
solutions elsewhere; or 2) be proven wrong and hopefully solve the
problem here and now.
The Scenario:
I have a simple website with a bunch of static files that is in place
for no other reason than to test connectivity and other issues before I
work on the new site(s). For the curious, this site is located at
http://www.cyber0ne.com and, keep in mind, a lot of the functionality of
the site itself is broken and it's a crappy old site from when I was in
college.
The Symptoms:
Browse to the site from the localhost (0 hops): no problems.
Browse to the site from LAN hosts (1 hop): no problems.
Browse to the site from hosts in the general metropolitan vecinity
(few hops): no problems.
Browse to the site from across the country (many hops): strange
problems seen.
Requests are sent to the server, noted in its logs, responded to as
usual. However, only responses (just simple GET requests for static
files here) with fewer than approximately 1250 bytes are received by the
client. Server logs show nothing out of the ordinary, but responses
greater than approximately 1250 bytes are never received by the client
and time out.
The Question(s):
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Can you think of _anything_ in Apache which may result in such
behavior?
Can you, from wherever you are, access the site? (The root index page
exceeds the 1250-ish-byte limitation so, if you can see that, you should
be good.)
