Hello, Regarding very large file uploads, I know this probably gets asked a lot and I've found one thread that comes close to what the answer I'm looking for:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/ca95963aaa33ce1e/c69fb3381885f9a7 This thread was posted about a year ago and I cannot find any follow-ups to this discussion. I am running Django using mod_python and my question is: What happens when a very large file is uploaded? Does it all get stored in memory or is it stored in a temp file and accessed as a byte stream? I want to be able to allow very large file uploads but I want to make sure an upload does not use up all the memory on the machine. Regarding cookie-less visitors or visitors with cookies disabled on their browser or proxy. Django, with the SessionMiddleware, will always create a new session and send a new session id as a cookie to the browser. Even with just the HEAD script from libwww-perl, I am able to get the site to issue new sessions with every HEAD request. What happens if a script kiddie hammers the site with so many HEAD requests? Do dead/unused sessions pile up on the sessions table? Does Django do anything to mitigate this or at least clean up dead/unused sessions automatically? -- _nimrod_a_abing_ http://abing.gotdns.com/ http://www.preownedcar.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
