Heres a stumper:
Theres a file sitting on a BSD 2.1 machine running Apache web server.
Theres a cisco router pointing out to the internet. The file is a big
text file with information and with lots of spaces inside it. (ascii 32)
This file can be transferred using ftp or an http link. It transfers
fast! (95-500k/sec)
When someone tries to get this file of the internet, it transfers REAL
slow... (2-4k/sec)
If we do a mass search/replace and replace the spaces with periods or
some other character, the file transfers over the internet fast!
Curiously enough, we can do ftp PUT's to this file from the internet and
its fast again. Only GET's go slow. Binary or Text mode have both been
tried with the same results.
Is it an OS problem? A router problem? We've renamed the extension of
the file, used lots of different samples.. done everything we can think
of. ANY file with lots of blank space in it is slowed down drastically.
Has anyone heard of this / seen this before?? Is it a router
compression thing? The transfers from that machine when you're local go
fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
