Problems with undersccores "_" in filenames

[maelcum]

Hi,

for a very long time (maybe 10 month of continuous use) I have been syncing files day in, day out, without a single retry or error. Since maybe a month, I'm getting retrys, more and more of them, with files that haven't changed for ages. Since they haven't changed, I was ignoring the retries as a matter of network problems for a while. Recently I was able to check on the network (the machine, the load of them, my internet provider, dns or arp caches and the like) and make sure it's *not* the reason.

While debugging the logs, it turns out, the retries only happen with files or directories that have an underscore "_" in them. I know how exotic that sounds, but just to clarify: Could that be a problem?

What are the "delimiter" and "Content-Length" error reasons? What could I investigate?
Running the current version, v1.2.4.
Here's a sample output:

Code:

Delim and CL are not part of the error problem.  They are just part of the request headers of the req that failed.

If there was a problem regarding underscores, it should always occur.  If it works on retry, then it can't be a bug in sync.

I didn't say it is a bug in sync. If it were, I'd have had the problem from the very beginning, just as you said. Thats why I ignored it in the first place.
But then, the errors still crop up. I'm trying to find something else to check/investigate. Maybe you could elaborate a little on the delim and cf "messages". What do they mean?

Thanks.

Delimiter: /
tells S3 that we want to get a list only up to the next forward slash.  This makes the lists correlate with the local directory listings better.

Content-Length: 971
means that the item it is uploading is 971 bytes.

Thanks.
Not exactly inspiring while looking for errors, but then - I'm glad those are just/still network errors.
Thanks again.
