Lithium PHP Framework - unable to upload files on live site

Question

I'm working on a site, that is live already, and when I attempt to upload a file - I receive "Status Code: 201 Created", but no content after that. And when I run the site locally and upload the file - I get the same status code, but after that I get content - JSON with the data of the newly created file.

In both cases I see in the Mongo database that the file is created, and when I attempt to access it through a controller for it through

http://({domain}file/{{file-id}}

I see the file - even on live.

The problem appears to be somewhere after that saving ... and before [[something]] returns the JSOn with the file data ...

... but because everything in Lithium is soooooooooooooooo muuuuuuucccchhhhhhhh automated ... I don't know how to find the problem.

(And I don't want to dump inside the framework itself ... I'm supposed to use the framework, not to debug it! ...)

Answer 1

Well, the problem appeared to be that after the upload the server should return JSON with the data for the file, but on live json_encode() was returning false because of some non-UTF8 text in the object. I managed to workaround this ... and the solution can be found in this question I posted today: json_encode() turn non-UTF8 strings into null, but on live site returns false
