Title: Download not working when Telnet/SSH session is running as well
Post by: Hendrik Land on September 02, 2008, 11:28:17 AM

I found a rather strange issue with HFS 2.2d. I'm using HFS it to download a file to an appliance. I connect to the appliance via telnet or SSH and execute the command that start the download from the HFS server. This works fine as long as HFS is not running on the same machine that I use to send the telnet command. However, when I open the telnet connection from the same machine that I'm running HFS on, the download does not start and the client reports "Content length did not match Content-Length directive in HTTP response - unable to fetch file from the specified location.". I don't understand why this can happen as telnet and HTTP should run completely independent of one another. It works fine with other HTTP servers that I tested, only HFS shows this issue. I've uploaded a TCPDUMP of the issue to ftp:*//ftp.netapp.com/pub/home/hland/tcpdump1.zip.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks for your help

Hendrik

Please test it with HFS 2.3 you find on the "beta" forum board

Hi rejetto,

thanks for your fast reply. Tested with build#201, but that did not help  :(

Regards

Hendrik

try dumping the HFS reply and see what differs from other server.
you can use: wget -S
to dump the header

I've had the same problem today - although I'm getting the problem when one machine is running HFS and I'm connected to the NetApp filer via console connection from a different machine.
