I'm trying to set up a project and have gotten to the point where my app is written, the server sends out jobs, the app completes and then the client attempts to upload the results. The upload starts, progresses slightly, and then fails. I turned on the html and transfer logging flags in the client and got the following errors:

12/7/2009 11:27:12 PM [http_debug] [ID#2] Sent header to server: POST /xxx_cgi/file_upload_handler HTTP/1.0

Any help in resolving this problem would be much appreciated!

It looks as though one of the devices between your "computer" and your "server" isn't configured correctly for http. Or perhaps it's the "server" or "computer" itself.

There's a band-aide solution in this thread. But fixing the problem itself would be better.

tried the bandaid approach but that didn't work; besides i'd much rather resolve the underlying issue and would appreciate any ideas on where to look to find out what hte problem is and how to resolve it
