have you looked at the debug logs for CGIDEV2? Also, can you correlate the
crash to file size perhaps? If I remember correctly when you get to a
certain file size you had to use a different call within CGIDEV2.

Subject: [WEB400] CGIDEV2 upload problem
Sent by: "WEB400" <web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
I have a web service implemented using CGIDEV2. It uses basic
authentication in Apache via a validation list. The web service receives
two file uploads, as parameters, per call. It passes the IFS paths to those
files to a *SRVPGM and returns the response to the caller.
This works fine most of the time. About once a day, CGIDEV2 crashes
processing the file uploads. This permanently corrupts the IBMi job, and
all subsequent calls to that job fail (even different programs/ activation
groups). If the client retries, the call works (provided it gets a
different IBMi job).
I'm working on a solution. Unlike text parameters, file uploads in CGI
aren't trivial for DIY. I'm leaning towards replacing the RPG service with
something else (e.g. Node, PHP, Python), although I'm reluctant to add a
new language to our environment. I don't see a clear choice for which
language to try. Also, the basic authentication is a big question mark.
We can probably change the URL the client calls, but that's probably about
it. The budget is my time.
I welcome and appreciate any input you have to offer.
TIA
