Fail sending big file using DefaultHttpClient

Issue

I'm trying to transfer big file to the server using httpput. However, I can't to transfer big files. I get IOException with error message: "I/O error during system call, Connection reset by peer". I'm using the code:

    // create authenticate client
    DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);

    // create HTTP put with the file
    HttpPut httpPut = new HttpPut(url);
    final File recordingFile = new File(mDir, mName);
    FileEntity entity = new FileEntity(recordingFile, "binary/octet-stream");
    entity.setChunked(true);
    httpPut.setEntity(entity);
    httpPut.addHeader("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
    httpPut.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/zip");

    // Execute
    HttpResponse res = client.execute(httpPut);
    int statusCode = res.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

Solution

When sending file through http remember that your server http has a max-limit to dimension of the file.

If i'm not wrong the default value is 2MB: but you can change this on the configuration file of the server (PHP).

The file to check is php.ini.

Open the file and search for 'upload_max_filesize = 2M': simply change 2 with the dimension you need for your project and save.

That's all!
