I seem to be getting an IOError: request data read error quite a lot when i'm doing an Ajax upload. For example out of every 5 file uploads it errors out on atleast 3.
Other people seem to have had the same issue. Eg.
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2641665/django-upload-failing-on-request-data-read-error
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/411902/django-file-upload-failing-occasionally
Some other observations:
It's definitely not my internet connection or a browser issue. Seems to be happening on all browsers chrome/FF/opera.
I'm running django 1.1.1 Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8k mod_wsgi/2.8 Python/2.6.5 on Lucid.
It is also not the file size. I can sometimes upload 1+ MB files but fail on 180 Kb files.
