This would seem to be the case, but I'm not sure it represents a bug in mod_python since it calls apr_stat() to get the finfo. status=apr_stat(&finfo, fname, APR_READ, self->request_rec->pool); finfo.size is used if len is not specified as a parameter to req_sendfile(). If this is a bug in apr_stat() then perhaps we could use the python equivalent as a workaround. As a temporary fix Wim could check the file size in his own code and use req.sendfile(filename, 0, size) Regards, Jim > Maybe someone else can look at this while I get some sleep. ;-) > > Graham > > On 15/10/2005, at 10:37 PM, Wim Heirman wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> When I call req.sendfile(filename) where filename is a symbolic link, >> only part of the file is sent to the client (as many bytes as there >> are characters in the symlink's file reference, so for a symlink >> pointing to '../index.html' I get the first 13 bytes of the correct >> file).
