Exception multipart/form-data request failed. Read timed out

Question

I have found below link that was a similier question with mine. But I think it is still been questioning to writer. --> Processing of multipart/form-data request failed. Read timed out

Server Env. : Jre1.6 and Tomcat 6.0, Tomcat 7.0 Both Tomcat are running. My website is deployed in 6.0. server.xml

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
   connectionUploadTimeout="36000000" disableUploadTimeout="false"
   connectionTimeout="60000" redirectPort="8443" />

When I upload a file about 900Mbytes big, It caused the problem(much smaller is fine). every I submit my form, the error event is showed after regular intervals(approx.. 7~8min).

Plsase show me the sunshine.

Answer 1

If someone tries to upload a file, then changes the browser URL (clicks a link, opens a bookmark, etc) or if you redirect it to other URL in Code then you could get that exception.

This can be fixed by using CallableThread

Answer 2

You need to set maxPostSize attribute to the <Connector..>. The default post size would be 2MB if not specified.

• Set maxPostSize="0" for unlimited data upload.
