I'm trying to write some rails metal code to handle a large XML file post, but I'm receiving a 500 from my server. If I use a POST but don't provide a file to upload, everything works and I receive a 200 response, but if I provide a file (the -d flag with curl), I receive a 500. Here's the curl command I'm using:
curl -siX POST http://large_file_tester/uploader -d @/home/mike/tmp/Product\ Upload\ Example\ XMLs/products.1000.xml --header "Content-Type: application/xml"
and the response:
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) Phusion_Passenger/3.0.7 Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Length: 646 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>500 Internal Server Error</title> </head><body> <h1>Internal Server Error</h1> <p>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.</p> <p>Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.</p> <p>More information about this error may be available in the server error log.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) Phusion_Passenger/3.0.7 Server at large_file_tester Port 80</address> </body></html>
here's my apache error log:
[ pid=31236 thr=140090706884944 file=ext/apache2/Hooks.cpp:865 time=2011-05-09 17:08:44.35 ]: Unexpected error in mod_passenger: An error occured while sending the request body to the request handler: Broken pipe (32) Backtrace: (empty)
and here's the rails metal code:
# Allow the metal piece to run in isolation require(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../config/environment") unless defined?(Rails)
class Uploader def self.call(env) if env["PATH_INFO"] =~ /^\/uploader/ request = Rack::Request.new(env) if request.post? RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.warn("UPLOAD RECEIVED. params: #{request.params.inspect}") return [200,{"Content-Type" => "text/html"},["Upload success"]] end return [200, {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}, ["Hello, World!"]] else return[404, {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}, ["Not Found"]] end end end
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,
Mike
