new file hanging?

[Brandon Ooi]

Interesting tool. I moved mogstored to the same machine as the db and 
mogilefsd (and switched off iptables) just to make sure that wasn't the 
problem. I created a motd and used the tool as you described.

# mogtool --debug --trackers=127.0.0.1:7001 --domain=test 
--class=normal  inject /etc/motd /etc/motd

and this was the response

...
Spawned child 7516 to deal with chunk number 1.
SOCK: Sock_127.0.0.1:7001, REQ: create_open 
domain=test&class=normal&multi_dest=1&key=/etc/motd
$VAR1 = undef;

RESPONSE: OK 
devid=1&fid=58&path=http://192.168.1.80:7500/dev1/0/000/000/0000000058.fid
$VAR1 = undef;

RETURN_VARS:
$VAR1 = {
          'fid' => '58',
          'devid' => '1',
          'path' => 'http://192.168.1.80:7500/dev1/0/000/000/0000000058.fid'
        };

At this point it hangs (not sure what the behavior is supposed to be). 
It would seem like it worked but the 'file' table in mysql is empty and 
the file does not exist on /dev1. Is the $VAR1 supposed to be undef?

I have also telnet'ed into mogstored and successfully used http PUT to 
save a file. It would seem that mogstored does work.
