We have found that Apache v2.2.4 is unable to serve image files under HP-UX B.11.31 uname -a HP-UX heracles B.11.31 U 9000/800 973227353 unlimited-user license We used a fairly default configuration and build procedure: ./configure --prefix=/scratch3/cm/heracles/apache224 --with-included-apr make make install Using the generated configuration (with no changes to httpd.conf from us) we find that text files can be served. For example: http://heracles/index.html But, image files are not served- e.g.: http://heracles/apache_pb.gif However, Apache does correctly acknowledge the request for the image in the access log: 172.16.61.3 - - [22/Aug/2007:17:04:01 -0400] "GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 2326 I have tried 'getting' the image using a program and what seems to happen is that the connection is broken before the first Byte of the response is recieved. I have written a CGI program (in C) to programatically generate and return image files and that works well so there appears to be a problem with the way Apache is handling static binary files on this platform.
Have you tried disabling sendfile? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#enablesendfile
(In reply to comment #1) > Have you tried disabling sendfile? > http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#enablesendfile Yes, that fixed it - thank you.

Disabling sendfile is a work-around. The fix to issue 42261 should resolve it permanently. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42261
