Re: 413 Request Entity Too Large

Kevin,

A little info on the disk thrashing & lack of network activity:

It's apparently doing a diff which is what all that hard drive and CPU
activity is about before the network traffic kicks in. I found this
out when I got an error about not having enough disk space. I've read
that it uses /tmp but when I made /tmp a symlink to a large drive, it
still failed with the same message, so I'm not sure where the
temporary file is stored. Once it gets the difference, I believe it
sends it off for a library like neon to handle.

I can't say for sure if it's a problem with neon or with creating the
temporary file, but I know that re-compiling with everything and using
the latest versions of all software solved the problem. My
configuration options were just to specify where to find neon, apr,
apr-util, berkleydb, etc. If anyone is interested in the exact config
options, I can see if I can dig them up for you when I get back to the
computer I used to compile it.
