suspect a race condition sometimes causes "300 gone" #40
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I do a lot of mod_auth_token "double hit" downloads via a download program
2. always when doing 40 concurrent downloads some of the tokens will expire
3. always some of the tokens do not expire but download wrong file
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see mod_auth_token prepare a x second url that works
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.5
Please provide any additional information below.
it is very hard to replicate, but I had had numerous users mention it on the
website but I was sceptical, because I had not seen it myself, I have a desktop
client that hits an authenticated php to get a token via json, that token is
then the "real" download, when I do a mass download (70 files) it will
invariably stop randomly and produce a "gone" error in the response. at the
moment i can't give you this code but I would urge doing a stress test. make
200 file. give them all unique easily findable name. (EG: 2.test inside is 5000
number 2 characters" then make a screen scrape routine that will question the
200 files as tokens then go wget those tokens then write a 3rd routine to check
that 2.list really has "5000 2's in it" I will write this whole thing and end
it to you but if you do this you will see that it will fail "gone" about one in
40 and a similar incidence will be wrong file
