[HTTPFile] cause chunk encoding error

[donut]

When I deliver a certain file using HTTPFile.FileResponder along with either HTTPSServer or HTTPServer, it always fails delivering the whole file. Chrome reports "net:ERR_INVALID_CHUNKED_ENCODING" in its Developer Tools Network tab.

In this gist you can see react.js file as delivered by nginx or HTTPServer. The page is super long, so it may be easier to open up the files in new tabs:

• Delivered via HTTPServer (Cuts off on line 1485)
• Delivered via nginx (delivers whole file)

I think I have experienced this occasionally on OS X, but it happens consistently on my 512 MB DigitalOcean VM running Ubuntu 14.04.3.

This seems to happen as file size increases.

@Danappelxx was able to help me out. It looks like the issue lies within the response being a FileStream. Replacing the FileStream body with file.read() resolves the issue.

Issue has not been resolved yet.

Replacing the FileStream body with file.read() resolves the issue.

That was misleading, haha. so what's left?

[Danappelxx]

Well, FileStream is still broken (and hence HTTPFile), so that needs to be fixed. The workaround that I suggested to @donut was to recreate HTTPFile but use File instead of FileStream, which is not a good overall solution.

Why is FileStream still broken? It's not like it was before.

[paulofaria]

Did anybody test?

[Danappelxx]

Sorry, I meant that we haven't fixed it yet (hence why this issue should remain open).
