Description Sam Lucidi 2016-08-29 14:28:54 UTC
Description of problem:
When using the Glance image data API's Content-Range support to partially download an image, the server sets a Content-Length header equal to the size of the full image, rather than the size of the chunk specified by the requested Content-Range. This causes clients to wait indefinitely for the server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
It at least affects Glance 11.0.1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an authenticated GET request to /v2/images/<some_image_id>/file with
   the Content-Range header set to some value smaller than the entire length
   of the image.
2. Wait

Actual results:
Server returns a Content-Length header equal to the length of the whole image but only transmitting the requested bytes. The client waits indefinitely for the server to continue sending.

Expected results:
Server returns a Content-Length header equal to the number of bytes in the chunk, so that the client can know to disconnect.

Additional info:
If you manually specify the Connection: close header rather than using the default Connection: keep-alive, the server terminates the connection after sending the right amount of bytes, although it still sends the wrong Content-Length header.

Comment 2 Erno Kuvaja 2016-08-30 05:58:11 UTC
By the looks of it, the error happens here [0] when the range is specified.

Comment 3 Flavio Percoco 2016-08-30 09:09:54 UTC
According to the Content-Range RFC, the Content-Length should be equal to the number of bytes transmitted, in this case it'd be the size of the chunk: https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

Can this please be reported upstream and fixed there?

Comment 4 Francesco Vollero 2016-08-30 11:48:37 UTC
I agree, must be filled upstream, but we should also have a way to track it here so please after you open the bug, add here the bug id on the external bug tracker.

@Flavio
If not given the range in the correct form, should not just return 412 Precondition Failed and exit?

Comment 5 Sam Lucidi 2016-08-31 14:47:08 UTC
I've reported a bug upstream and added the bug ID here.

Comment 7 Cyril Roelandt 2016-09-13 13:38:18 UTC
I'm on it :)

Comment 8 Tzu-Mainn Chen 2016-09-19 21:08:41 UTC
Out of curiosity, is it possible to somehow tell through the API whether or not the version of Glance v2 contains the fix or not?  We're trying to figure out the best way to have our code support both OpenStacks with and without the fix.

Comment 9 Elise Gafford 2016-11-01 17:13:01 UTC
No recent progress on this issue. Moving to RHOS 11 for triage.

Comment 11 Cyril Roelandt 2017-03-21 16:31:24 UTC
The fix seems to be in stable/ocata upstream, and in our downstream packages as well, so let's push this to QA.
