Error description

• While recording the customer's AUT using Web-interface, Citrix
  client opens but immediately throws an error message "ICA File
  not found". The Temp folder contains multiple temp ICA files
  starting with "wi-" with the same time stamp instead of a single
  ica file that is typically seen. The icaFile in temp folder
  contains invalid characters when tried to be opened with a text
  editor.
  I noticed that the file contents of some of these "wi-*.ica"
  files start with 586 which could be the chunk size. It appears
  that RPT saves each chunk into a separate wi*.ica file and then
  one of them is supplied to the Citrix client while recording
  which can't be interpreted by the client leading to the error.
  The HTTP Response headers for the request that picks up the ICA
  file contains "Transfer Encoding: Chunked".
