We've had a long term problem with amane returning a success code and
content-length: 0 for perfectly valid files which are certainly longer
than zero bytes. Once one of these zero byte files has been dished out
the squids will happily hold on to it for a long time. Purging clears
the problem for the impacted file.
The problem seems to go up and down in frequency depending on how
overloaded amane is. It seems to be more frequent with larger files,
but that might just be the biases of own experiences talking. People
have toyed with the problem on and off but it's still not fixed.
Tim took the the OggHandler extension live today. The inline players
have brought a lot more attention to media support.
But I've now gotten more bug reports related to stuck files than any
other issue with the player. It's pretty miserable that our new
feature is going to give a poor first impression to a lot of people
because of this unresolved backend issue.
