Topic 193892

Hello, I'm unable to upload finished tasks to the server. I get the message "Temporarily failed upload of (task): HTTP error." Task# 104251402 was the last one I've tried to send and finally canceled. I've got two results ready to send that aren't going through.

I have E@H on two hosts, this is only occurring on one host. It is at work and we have content filtering enabled. Is it possible that the address is blocked? If that's the case, then the filter should also block tasks from downloading too. Is there a web address I can enter in my browser to test this? Any other info or help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I could solve that problem by switching from htt protocol version 1.1 to version 1.0.
To do so, you must create a text file named cc_config.xml in your BOINC data directory (if it doesn't exist already). The data directory is mentioned in the message tab of BOINC manager (the default was C:\program files\BOINC with 5.x).
With notepad or a similar editor, enter (copy&paste) the following into that file:


1

There are no lower case 'L' characters in that code, only digits '1'. More information to cc_config you can find here.
In BOINC Manager (Advanced view) select menu 'Advanced->Read config file' to activate the new configuration.
Hope that helps.

I made a config file and

I made a config file and loaded it (also loaded instructions to log CPU scheduling to make sure I was doing it right). The config file read successfully, but there is no change in the results. The Einstein WU still won't upload. It shows 4.39KB of 226.47KB have been sent.

Then you should probably turn on some more debugging output. The problem is that I can tell you which ones, but am not very good in analyzing the result. :-(
But perhaps some other people can help you, if you paste some of the messages here.

Perhaps some of the following options could be helpful:

Show completion status of file transfers.
Debugging information about HTTP operations.
Debugging information about network communication.
Debugging information about HTTP proxy operations.

The output with those log flags can get quite lengthy, so you should turn them off again after you got some error messages. You can also find them in the file stdoutdae.txt.

I enabled all of the logging

I enabled all of the logging and found the address sending results to Einstein. I entered it in the web browser and the address is blocked by the content filter - "Resource sharing". So I'll have to detach Einstein from my work computer.

Thank you for your help Gundolf. It really helped me figure out what was happening.
