Re: [help-cgicc] HTML file upload: MAX_FILE_SIZE, and/or chunking

[Jay Sprenkle]

I would bet all the server software has a configuration option for limiting upload size.

It can be abused to denial of service attack the web server. That would be in addition to the limits a cgi program might have.

Consult the web server software documentation

Hi,

is it possible to set a max file size for file uploads?

Can such a limit be tested/enforced at client side (ie. in the HTML) before
the upload starts?

Can such a limit be tested/enforced at server side (ie. in the cgicc 'script')
before the download starts?

The rationale is b/c the server has only limited ressources, esp. memory.

And a related question:
Is it possible at server side to download the file in multiple chunks, to
conserve memory?

Thx
