@Minnozz experienced strange timeouts when POSTing files using curl 7.64.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0) libcurl/7.64.1 (SecureTransport) LibreSSL/2.8.3 zlib/1.2.11 nghttp2/1.39.2.

These timeouts did not occur when using curl 7.67.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.67.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1d zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.3.0 libpsl/0.21.0 (+libidn2/2.2.0) libssh2/1.9.0 nghttp2/1.39.2

Some (curl 7.64.1) debuglogs from nginx later (curl 7.67.0), it seems we may be hitting this fixed bug.

The current spread of curl versions in production (scales to number of pastes):

# zgrep POST hashru.link.access.log* | grep -oP 'curl/\d.\d+\.\d+' | sort | uniq -c
      2 curl/7.64.0
     14 curl/7.64.1
      1 curl/7.65.3
      1 curl/7.66.0
     32 curl/7.67.0

The bug was fixed since 7.65.2. It might be good to document a workaround (e.g. using --http1.1 in the request).

Just add --http1.1 to the examples on the index page for now?

We could also (temporarily?) disable HTTP/2 on the nginx side. I don't think HTTP/2 has many advantages over HTTP/1.1 for rushlink.

Latest spread of curl versions:

# zgrep -E '(POST|DELETE)' hashru.link.access.log* | grep -oP 'curl/\d.\d+\.\d+' | sort | uniq -c
      3 curl/7.64.1
      5 curl/7.67.0
      2 curl/7.68.0
      1 curl/7.69.1
     24 curl/7.70.0

Latest spread of `curl` versions: ``` # zgrep -E '(POST|DELETE)' hashru.link.access.log* | grep -oP 'curl/\d.\d+\.\d+' | sort | uniq -c 3 curl/7.64.1 5 curl/7.67.0 2 curl/7.68.0 1 curl/7.69.1 24 curl/7.70.0 ```

We should add the curl --http1.1 to @mara 's upload script, maybe even with a check if the curl is version <7.65.2.
