Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Andrew Rogers (adr26) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: maximum length not enforce in cgi.parse() Initial Comment: I have a simple form in HTML to upload a file: <form action="http://foo/cgi-bin/test.py"; enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <p> Please specify a file:<br> <input type="file" name="file_1" size="40"> </p> <p> <input type="submit" value="Send"> </p> </form> I use this to post to a CGI python script that looks like this: import cgi import cgitb; cgitb.enable() cgi.maxlen = 50 print "Content-type: text/plain" print q = cgi.parse() print q I was expecting that cgi.pm would then throw an exception if I send a file > 50 bytes long to it. If I construct a FieldStorage object, it certainly does: form = cgi.FieldStorage() print form The issue is that in parse_multipart() in cgi.pm, if a part of a multi-part message does not have the Content-Length header, you read lines until you get to the next boundary "--...", but don't honour maxlen whilst doing so. I'd consider this to be a bug and would even be happy to have a go at fixing it as my first contribution to Python, should others concur with me... :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1367631&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
