Apache blocking on System.in in cgi java application

[Jason Pell]

Hi,

The following fragment is used to read in system.in data from a file
upload,
but System.in is blocking after the 4046 read byte. On each and every
case.

It does not matter if I change the code, to read in bigger chunks, it
still blocks
around the 4000byte mark.

-------------------------------------------------
int c;
int count=0;
while ( (c=System.in.read()) !=-1)
{
System.out.print((char)c);
count++;
}
-------------------------------------------------

I am running Apache/1.3.19 Server, with Redhat 7.1 on an Intel 166Mhz
pentium
with 128megs ram.

Any help or similar experiences appreciated

Cheers
Jason

Disregard, my fault, I was going through a proxy server, and did not
realise it.
The proxy server was cutting me off.

Thanks anyway

Not that this is the cause of your problem, but just out of curiousity
why are you using CGI instead of servlets ? Is there something I'm
missing about what CGI can do that servlets can't?

I've been doing CGI (in various languages) for 5 years and servlets
for one year, and I can't think of a reason why I would want to do CGI
in Java when servlets exist as an alternative.
