Thanks, both, for the logs. Euch - what a mess! I'll make some general comments first, then pick out details from each.

First, these are both EAS tasks - the server which Dave/Andy say is running now. Let's take that on trust.

Second - they both seem to get muddled by trying a test connection to Google. I suspect that may be caused by a timing problem - BOINC doesn't wait long enough. For testing and recovery purposes, I'd suggest making a change in cc_config.xml (but see * at the end of this post).

Set these values:
<dont_contact_ref_site>1</dont_contact_ref_site>
<max_file_xfers_per_project>1</max_file_xfers_per_project>
to keep things quiet and clean while we're working.

From the format, I guess that both of you have collected the log from from BOINC Manager. I think, again, that BOINC can sometimes miss entries if it's trying to update the log while processing a big job communicating with a server. The stdoutdae.txt file version of the log can sometimes capture these missing lines.

That is enough to start work on the meat of the upload, but it goes wrong here:

I think a 20 second delay at this point is a Windows default - can you confirm that you're running under Windows? The BOINC default can be changed, but initially is set at 300 seconds - I don't think you can over-ride Windows. So dead end - the rest is just the connection check with Google..

The setup is again fine, but we have
6/30/2023 1:45:19 PM | climateprediction.net | [http] [ID#21] Received header from server:     <file_size>8495740</file_size>
Is the different size usual?
Then we get

Again a delay, but for 5 minutes - and BOINC has terminated it. I think that's under Linux?
Another attempt at Google, but then we get

That's mad.

It's sent the 'continue' information to Google! BOINC client bug!

But overall, it's probably not the main cause of your problems. Look at the varying file sizes: I think BOINC is trying to resend the remaining fraction of a big file which it has succeeded in sending part of already. I suspect that these partial retries are the main problem - the BOINC client/server combination are having difficulty coping with the separate sections which the server needs to stitch together. That's probably above all our pay grades - we would have to get BOINC Central involved in this, but they're not proving very responsive to bug reports these days. The server team here might have more success than a user report.

* This setting also blocks regular updates of 'all_projects_list.xml'. If you're in the habit of checking for new projects using BOINC Manager, reset this setting when we've done here.

Message 69067 - Posted: 1 Jul 2023, 12:32:14 UTC - in response to Message 69066.  

May I ask whether the clients are connected via a Squid Proxy?
If so this may explain the following HTTP header:
... [http] [ID#5725] Received header from server: HTTP/1.1 100 Continue


On the Client side this can be solved adding this lines to squid.conf:
# may be a workaround for POST issues
client_request_buffer_max_size 512 MB

Then reload the configuration, e.g. with:
sudo squid -k reconfigure

On Windows open the Squid console as Administrator and run:
squid -k reconfigure


If the client is not configured to use a Squid the server's POST handling may need to be checked, especially if a size limit is set.

I think that's under Linux?
Since WAH2 according to apps-page is Windows exclusive I doubt a Linux computer would try to return such work.
Still, in the off-chance it's some kind of beta-wu, a quick look on geophi's log shows

@Richard

The received header from server: 8495740 size is likely the the number of bytes the server thinks is uploaded so far, where it is stuck at now.
In boinc manager it is stuck at 8.16 MB of the 128.98 MB upload file (6.33%)

The “last bytes transferred” number of 8561276 converts to 8.16 MB so the client thinks it has transferred more than the server has recorded??

Yes, the boinc executable is running in wine on an Ubuntu linux host.

We’ve seen this before where a single or a few uploads get stuck and rebooting the server, or manually killing the server side process associated with that file will allow them to upload. But I thought we had very different messages in the logs when that occurred in the past.

The problem is this:
7/1/2023 3:20:31 PM | climateprediction.net | [http] [ID#5] Received header from server: HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

You may check if the server is configured to add '\r\n\r\n' (a blank line) at the end of that header.
If not, the client waits for it until the timeout is over.

Don't know if this modifies the network packets, e.g. removes the expected blank line.

That sounds like a bug - is it a client bug or a server bug?

Why?

Basically (in short) because a blank line indicates a "transfer complete" in HTTP.


In addition, "100-continue" was added to HTTP 1.1 after the initial spec.

Some more information can be found here including a link to the relevant RFC:
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2020/02/27/expect-tweaks-in-curl/

That sounds like a bug - is it a client bug or a server bug?

I would start at the server to ensure it sends a blank line.
You may notice blank lines in other parts of the logs (from google but even from the CPDN server).

Thanks. You learn something new every day.

Edit - this might be related to https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/4572. As the reporter notes, the 'resolution' cited doesn't fix that issue - it relates to a real, but different, issue.

The common factor appears to be the attempted restart of a large upload, which has been interrupted by a network glitch.

I find that suspending computation, waiting two minutes before closing down BOINC and again waiting 2 minutes before rebooting reduces the percentage of failures from this cause on restarting. Also the Windows tasks seem to be less prone to it than the met office Linux tasks.

Yes I've only lost one of about 30 in a week. They used to be a lot more fussy.

When you say suspending computation, what about the option to leave them in memory? Would I have to turn it off so tasks have a chance to shut down before I close Boinc? I like to leave the option on, since when Boinc switches between apps, it isn't stopping the CPDN tasks completely, so they don't mind.

These 3 WUs started at the same time and they're all at 36-38% progress. They're all running on the same Win7 i5-4690K quadcore CPU with nothing else running. I've restarted BOINC twice and the first was to upgrade to 7.22.2. Set to only allow a single file transfer. Might there be a clue in one working properrly and two not or is just random?

I think it is just random. Something to do with a large upload being interrupted by a glitch anywhere, (server, client, network or a reboot.)

When you say suspending computation, what about the option to leave them in memory?
- I have never turned it off so can't comment on whether doing that before shutdown has any effect.

That would be possible, but it feels like there is more of a pattern to the logs we've seen so far than pure randomness.

They've all failed at exactly the same point: after receiving the "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" header from the server - the one that computezrmle thinks may be missing a following blank line.

Aurum's is slightly different: he has a second upload waiting, and it's retried immediately after the client times out the first transfer. For the second file, the client fails even to establish the initial connection - the only time we've been shown that.

Speculation: after the "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue", the client and server enter a state of deadlock, with each waiting for the other to speak first. The client is waiting for the next line of the header: the server thinks it's sent that last line, and is waiting for the data flow to start.

The client blinks first, and abandons the first transfer. But (speculatively), the server has a longer timeout, and is holding the connection open for the elusive data - it doesn't expect a new connection, so the attempt is treated as the data it's still waiting for.

That sort of problem should be detectable in the server logs, if anyone is prepared to investigate them?

Ok I won't then. It's just over at LHC it was recommended, so the task saves it's state. But that's using VirtualBox, which adds many more complications.
