Truncated data and subsequent FTP operations fail on the same session in Internet Explorer 11 when you use InternetWriteFile to upload files

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a C++ application to send files to FTP server by using InternetWriteFile API.
  • You read the file and write the content by using InternetWriteFile API.
  • The entire file is uploaded and the file handle is closed.
In this scenario, you may find all data has not yet reached the server and the file is truncated. Additionally, the subsequent FTP operations on the same session fail.

Note This issue does not occur on Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9 and Internet Explorer 10.

Cause

After you call InternetWriteFile() API, the InternetCloseHandle() API will be called. In Internet Explorer 9 and Internet Explorer 10, InternetClosehandle() is waiting for 226 Transfer complete, then the next command works. However, in Internet Explorer 11, InternetClosehandle() does not wait for 226 Transfer complete. Therefore, the data channel may be closed before all data has reached the server. Additionally subsequent FTP commands will fail.
