Mongrel users - Dec 2006 - Does send_file act differently with Mongrel than withWebrick?

I tried the mime thing but it did not help.  I didn''t think it was that
because I can get the mp3 served OK hitting the URL in a browser.

I just noticed that I am getting an error in Mongrel when WinAmp make the
request for the mp3 file:

BAD CLIENT (127.0.0.1): Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails.

I don''t think Mongrel has a problem with the URL itself because if a
browser requests the same URL it succeeds:

"GET /playlist/play_track/0%3A720913 HTTP/1.1"

Any thoughts on this?

We create a playlist (M3U) with URLs to the mp3s.  These play just fine using
Windows Media Player.  However using WinAmp we get an error "error syncing
to stream" when it tries to request the mp3.

Ohhh, bad client!

Often that means the application (in this case, winamp) didn''t create
a valid, compliant HTTP header/request and mongrel decided to protect
you, your server and your investment on this "revolutionary"
technology dropping the connection.

There was some user scenario that IE created bad URL request and
mongrel dropped them too, so check back in the mailing list or try
using the beta/prerelease gem I build for win32.

(I suggest this because you''re using 0.13.3, and a lot of things
happend since then).

You''re right, is not (directly) mongrel''s fault, but Winamp in
this case.

As suggested above... try with the latest build and please drop some
feedback if that help you.
