Live Update and large files on HTML5 not working (DEF-2516) (SOLVED)

Live Updates work pretty good on OSX build for me, but in HTML5 -browser just hangs on request. File size limit?

this file is 3.7 mb

Seems as if it’s the http request that’s failing, and not the actual storing of resources. There should be no limit to http request file size as far as I know, I’m pretty sure @Johan_Beck-Noren did some tests with files at around 14MiB on both HTML5 and mobile. Can you see the request reaching your web server?

more fun, it looks like the file was successfully downloaded:

and I see the same result in server logs

Hello,

Does the size of the downloaded file in the logs exactly match that of the file on disk? Some simpler web servers have a rather small size limit on the files it will deliver on GET requests and I am wondering if that might be the issue here, that the entire file is not transfered.

In OSX build everything is OK, so I don’t think it’s a server issue. If I just put the url to file into browser - the file is downloaded and it’s ok

Yes I just confirmed it is a bug in the engine when trying to store large files in HTML5. Looking into it, good find! :slight_smile:
