Hi all, I have made a script for uploading files and I don't know how to limit the size of the uploaded file.
I've read that using a line like: $CGI::POST_MAX = 1024 * 1024 ; .... is more secure because the script will automaticly break when the file is bigger than this limit. And I have also read that the temporary file created can't be bigger than this size. I've tried it but it is not true. I use Win 2k and Apache 2.0.36 and I have tried the following: $CGI::POST_MAX = 1024 * 1024 ; I've tried uploading a file that has 9 MB. I've took a look in the cgi-bin directory (where the temporary files are stored, and I've seen a temporary file that increased up to 9 MB. After the "upload" finished, my script printed me the error that the file is too big and it deleted the temporary file, but ... I am wondering if someone wants to upload a file that has a few GB ... will it fill out my whole hard drive with a temporary file? In the manual for CGI module they say that it doesn't create a temporary file bigger than the specified limit, but it is not true. Am I missing something? Thank you very much. I hope it is not a bug in the CGI module. Teddy, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
