Also see it does not cleanly close on ^C interrupt if there is upload attempt,
^CINFO: Shutting down
INFO: connection closed
INFO: Waiting for connections to close. (CTRL+C to force quit)
(wait forever here)
full log attached, after forcing ^C

@vazir commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):
It've been a local issue, browser do not have access to a file. (apprmor restrictions), so upload actually fails (not detected by webui). Issue is different than, chatgpt and others detects the access failure - and show "upload failed" - open-webui not detecting, and spins eternally. So closing the issue, as it's not so important.
