Hi,
I use Hunchentoot 1.1.1 with SBCL 1.0.43 under Linux. Under load Hunchentoot sometimes sends incomplete responses to the clients. I tried to debug the problem and Hunchentoot seems to close the output stream without waiting for the buffered data to be sent. In "connection per request" mode (i.e. keep-alive is disabled), immediately after writing a response to the output stream function PROCESS-CONNECTION makes the following calls: (force-output *hunchentoot-stream*) (close *hunchentoot-stream* :abort t)
As FORCE-OUTPUT does not wait till all the buffered output is sent, CLOSE (with :ABORT T) is sometimes called before the buffers are empty and discards a part of the output.
I wrote a small test to demonstrate the problem. The server and the client has to run on different computers.
Regards, Ilya
