Pretty well, we also get a similar problem when some IE clients download
pictures (jpg's).

Software caused connection abort at /home/apache/metapoint/trunk/Metadot/UploadsManager.pm line 216, <OUT> chunk 1.\n

The code here is (edited for brevity)

open OUT, "<$read_file";
binmode (OUT);
print $CGI->header(%header_values);
{
         local $/ = undef;
         while(<OUT>) {
                 print;
         }
}

<-- maybe you could add "or something-to-do-in-case-of-error" here

The response is standard html/text, no fancy formats. I will look into catching the error
and doing a dump.

No, not at all, as I mentioned the only time it happens is "sometimes" with IE. :(

I'm not sure there is one, however, this occurs 50-100 times a day which seems very high to me.

Thanks for your help.
