At this stage even share won't load and the server becomes pretty much unresponsive.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>After the 5 minutes timeout the server slowly comes back to life and it tries to do something with an authentication handshake several times "Throttled authentication handshake, waiting for reconnect timeout on: </SPAN><A href="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s</A><SPAN>" which all throws Exceptions as well.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Finally these Exceptions seem to stop as well and then I get the same ClientAbortException/SocketExceptions I was seeing with 10.6.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>By now (about 10 minutes after mounting the webdav share!) the server has fully recovered and is operational again.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Exceptions: </SPAN><A href="https://gist.github.com/4031099" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://gist.github.com/4031099</A><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now I did some troubleshooting and noticed that on 10.6 the Finder in OS X tries to load a thumbnail/preview of the image with a GET request to the image's URL which first fails at least twice and then succeeds. These two failures seem to match the exceptions I see on the server end.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Once the image has been loaded a call is made to the same URL, but this time as PROPFIND request and this always seems to succeed immediately.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>This is obviously not ideal but at least the server doesn't freeze like it does in 10.8…</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I also tried increasing the memory on the server (currently at 8G), checked if SMB and/or FTP work ok which they do and tried different client machines.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does anybody have any idea what i can do to resolve this so we can actually use WebDAV?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have considered using SMB or FTP instead, but the problem with SMB is that, if i understand correctly, it doesn't allow synchronised LDAP users to connect. And FTP is not really an option either as you can only mount a FTP share as read-only in the Finder.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Skip</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:09:56 GMT schipmolder 2012-11-07T12:09:56Z WebDAV timeouts and ClientAbortException/SocketException https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/webdav-timeouts-and-clientabortexception-socketexception/m-p/247776#M200906 Hi,I'm running a 4.0.d server with users having access to the repository via WebDAV.I also have a few Mac clients, some of which run Mac OS X 10.6 and some 10.8.When a 10.6 client mounts the share and either opens a folder or selects an image I get SocketExceptions (caused by ClientAbortExceptions) Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:09:56 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/webdav-timeouts-and-clientabortexception-socketexception/m-p/247776#M200906 schipmolder 2012-11-07T12:09:56Z Re: WebDAV timeouts and ClientAbortException/SocketException https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/webdav-timeouts-and-clientabortexception-socketexception/m-p/247777#M200907 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing these exceptions?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:18:40 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/webdav-timeouts-and-clientabortexception-socketexception/m-p/247777#M200907 schipmolder 2012-11-12T09:18:40Z Re: WebDAV timeouts and ClientAbortException/SocketException https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/webdav-timeouts-and-clientabortexception-socketexception/m-p/247778#M200908 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hmm, I was hoping someone else would be using WebDAV as well and possibly come cross the same issues <img id="smileysad" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysad" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png" alt="Smiley Sad" title="Smiley Sad" /></SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If anyone else is using WebDAV without issues with Mac clients could you please let me know?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:55:56 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/webdav-timeouts-and-clientabortexception-socketexception/m-p/247778#M200908 schipmolder 2012-11-19T14:55:56Z
