One of my tools on the toolserver has been happily transferring images
from
http://www.geograph.org.uk/ for many month. It does so by copying
the file to /tmp on toolserver, then upload it.
Now, a problem has come up: Most of the time (but apparently, not
always), the upload is rejected because of some mime type issue. The
problem occurs for both fake-upload-page POST via Perl, as well as the
API-based PHP Peachy extension. This happens for many different
images, so probably not a bad toolserver cache.
Now the killer: When I download the image to my desktop and manually
upload it, it works fine.
Test image :

Any ideas?

Is the file downloaded right at the toolserver?
It may be that it downloads a 0-byte file, then upload fails, whereas
when you download it manually you get the right file. (Similarly, it may
be the upload what gets truncated, although that probably wouldn't give
a mime error as it would fail earlier)
