Installation Method

Kubernetes through provided helm chart

Environment

Open WebUI Version: 0.4.8
Operating System: Linux
Browser (if applicable): Chrome

Running behind Istio load balancer.

Confirmation:

I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

Uploading any file by dragging it into a conversation works.

Actual Behavior:

Drag a file into the UI ( a simple hello.txt with contents "hello" for this example)
File upload starts, UI spinner is shown
I see POST api/v1/files/ happen
This hangs until the gateway times out.

During that period, on the kubernetes pod we see:

open-webui-0 open-webui WARNI [python_multipart.multipart] Skipping data after last boundary
open-webui-0 open-webui INFO  [open_webui.apps.webui.routers.files] file.content_type: text/plain

Description

Bug Summary:
Seems like the server never responds, even though it correctly reads the file. If it's a PDF, I also see Tikka trigger and extract the contents correctly.
