I don't have an ftp server on that machine, I will see if I can get one to
try out.

I did push the same file to a Linux ftp server on the same subnet and it
usually xferred in under 2 seconds, FWIW.

If you have a JVM installed somewhere, you can try this simple java app for
PUT comparison. This app routinely puts my test file to my server in about
1.6 seconds (with curl taking about 16).

Well, curl never messes with options like that so I can't see how they
would
be different. Also, the send buffer is the exact same here in both cases.

In fact, *very* little differs between a HTTP PUT and a FTP STOR once the
data has started getting sent. Both ways is just a binary stream of data
being sent off as soon as the socket returns as writable from the select()
call.

RBramante, can you see the same effect that FTP upload performs "full
speed"
?

Personally, I don't have any other tool that does HTTP PUT to compare
speeds
with so I can't tell if it's just my server that is slow at receiving PUT.
