Incomplete download in IIS6

I have this ASP application that delivers binary files (by calling C++ COM
object) to a C++ client application. On the server side I read from a file
and write it using Response.Binary Write function. On the client side I read
using the MFC CHttpFile::Read () function.

This code has been working for 5 years on Win2000/IIS5. Recently we moved
the ASP application as is into Windows 2003/IIS6. Since then we are seeing
that some large size files are delivered incomplete. There is no error on
both side. I have run the server side C++ COM object via debugger and found
no error, it writes the entire 5MB file without error. I have also run the
client side C++ application via debugger, and it receives 1.6MB and then
terminates without any error.

Whatever happened to rest of the file? I can reproduce this error everytime
for a given file. However, this doesn't happen for most of the files.

Please shed some light here...

Do you have URLScan configured on your server? I think this can limit the
download size of files.

Urlscan, not on Win2003. The old Win2000 had it, but that never caused any
problem.

Do you have ASP Response buffering enabled. I believe it is on by default.

And on IIS6, the default maximum ASP buffered response is 4MB. Configurable.
W3SVC/AspBufferingLim it

This limit is introduced for security reasons -- on IIS5, it is possible to
run a rogue ASP page in an infinite loop doing a Response.Write( ) with
buffering enabled to consume all system memory.

You probably have a high tech network card sitting in that new server, try
swapping it for a 10 dollar one and see what happens. (I have seen this
exact behaviour before)

Hi there, I'm having trouble with my first IIS6.0 on Windows Server 2003. The web site works fine: all ASP pages are processed and displayed normally.

When you click on a link pointing to one of these files (or if you write the file's absolute URL in the address bar of IE) you get the normal Open or Save as dialog. Whichever option you choose, the...

Okay, this is really weird. We have two Windows 2003 Server SP1 PCs. One hosts IIS6 website, and the other hosts our DCOM service program. Our website is ASP/XSL. An ASP page uses Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0 to transform a XML top node via XSL stylesheet outputting to HTML. We have set up the website on-site successfully with no problems. However, when we upgraded our client some how IIS6 still references a really old XSL file. No matter how...
