Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7.
-
You add an ISAPI filter that registers for SF_NOTIFY_SEND_RAW_DATA event notifications in IIS.
-
The computer that is running IIS 7.5 receives a Client HTTP request that contains a Range header.
In this scenario, one of the following symptoms occurs:
-
If the response data size is equal to 8 MB or is less than 8 MB, IIS sends a response that states that the data length is equal to the Content-Range header, and an incorrect Content-Length header is returned in the response. Therefore, the client waits for data that does not exist.
For example, the client sends the following request to the computer that is running IIS:GET /examplefile.txt HTTP/1.1
Range: bytes=1000-2000
Host: localhost The response to this request resembles the following:HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Content-Length: 8192000
Content-Type: text/plain
Last-Modified: <Day, Date and time>
Accept-Ranges: bytes
ETag: "0e7ef5bd70cb1:0"
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Date and time
Content-Range: bytes 1000-2000/8192000Note The correct value of the Content-Length header for the response is 1001. However, this response contains a value of 8192000. -
If the response data size is greater than 8 MB, the client connection fails. Additionally, the following error message is logged in the HTTP API error log:
Connection_Dropped.
Cause
This issue occurs for one of the following reasons:
-
Http.sys does not update the Content-Length header in the response when the response data size is equal to 8 MB or is less than 8 MB.
When IIS sends a full response, and when Http.sys processes the Range header of the request, IIS sends the whole buffer by a single HttpSendHttpResponse call without the HTTP_SEND_RESPONSE_FLAG_MORE_DATA flag. However, Http.sys does not update the Content-Length header in the response. Therefore, Http.sys sends only a subset of the response to the client. -
The STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED status is set when the response data size is greater than 8 MB.
When IIS sends the buffer by using HttpSendHttpResponse calls with the HTTP_SEND_RESPONSE_FLAG_MORE_DATA and HTTP_SEND_RESPONSE_FLAG_PROCESS_RANGES flags, Http.sys sets the status to STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, and the connection is closed.
Resolution
Note After you apply the following hotfix, the Range header is not processed if the response is larger than 8 MB. The 14.35.2 section of Request for Comments (RFC) 2616 states that a server may ignore the Range header.
