I've sent a message to the list before about this problem, but I wasn't able to pinpoint the cause. Now I believe I got it.
I have a Django app served with FastCGI to Cherokee, using threaded mode in order to avoid some database issues. My daemon line is like this:
python /storage/test/colibri/manage.py runfcgi protocol=fcgi socket=/tmp/test-fcgi.sock pidfile=/tmp/test-fcgi.pid method=threaded debug=true
I have keep-alive and chunked encoding disabled. If I request a form page with an upload input, and right after I try to upload a file (any file, doesn't matter the file size), it works fine. But, if I request the form page, have the browser sit idle for sometime, and after that I try to initiate the upload, Cherokee stalls on file uploading.
This happens regardless of my keep-alive configuration, but always happens if I'm using threaded mode. With prefork, I don't see the issue.
Now, I don't believe this bug is related to Django itself, neither I should have this strange behaviour with threaded mode. I'm considering it's something wrong on Cherokee, because the behaviour looks like a keep-alive problem.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to debug more than this. I request if someone can please take a look at this issue and try to reproduce it with a Django app (1.1) deployed the same way as me + Cherokee 0.99.44. Running Django with prefork got it's share of problems already, so it's preferred to use it in threaded mode. Now I can't use either, because either I got database problems, or I got those Cherokee file upload problems.
Thanks!
