Severity: normal
Hi, I placed a 4.2 GB file (actually a woody dvd iso image) in
/var/www/debian-dvd, and made it world readable. Fetching a file list
from the folder showed every file but the iso image. Trying to fetch the
iso image itself gave error 500: internal server error.
I double-checked file and folder permissions twice :-)

Message #10 received at 208437@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
When you ask thttpd for the listing of a dir with files over the 2
gigabytes, like this I have on my box:
16 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5000000001 Apr 20 15:35 large
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 Apr 20 15:46 peticion.txt
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Apr 20 15:31 small
3075004 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3145728000 Apr 20 13:39 zeros
thttpd will only show the files under the two gigabytes, in fact, for my
example it showed this:
Index of /
mode links bytes last-changed name
dr-x 2 4096 Apr 20 17:28 ./
dr-x 2 4096 Apr 20 17:28 ../
-r-- 1 21 Apr 20 15:46 peticion.txt
-r-- 1 6 Apr 20 15:31 small
And then if you try to get a file over the two gigabytes, like the zeros
file of my example, this is what happens:
GET /zeros HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Error

I really like thttpd, it would be great to have this fixed so that it would
be the first http daemon in Debian to be able to serve files over the two
gigas, for what I've seen no http daemon in Debian is able to transfer this
big files.

Hi Diego,
i'm in the process of taking maintainership of this debian
package... i was able to reproduce your problem on a i386 system:
The stat-call within really_start_request fails because the file
is larger than the size of off_t (in this i386 debian package) - from the
stat(2) manpage:
EOVERFLOW
(stat()) path refers to a file whose size cannot be represented in the type
off_t. This can occur when an application compiled on a 32-bit platform without
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 calls stat() on a file whose size exceeds (2<<31)-1 bits.
even compiling with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, the download is
interrupted, caused by this line in mmc_map:
size_t size_size = (size_t) m->size; /* loses on files >2GB */
from my point of view this is a design-limitation (reason for wontfix)
that will never be fixed: The server loads all served files via mmap
or real memory into its address space and will never be able to serve
huge files. I'll insert a log for this kind of situation:
if ( ((off_t)size_size) != m->size )
{
syslog( LOG_ERR, "file %s is too large for thttpd on this architecture", filename);
Maybe I'll try to take this upstream... There are some ways around
(mmap only smaller parts, use sendfile (only Linux)).
Cheers
Leif
