Maxim , Thank you for your reply. Here is an example: If a user uploads 100MB file , what will be a consumption of memory, when the upload is complete? Or does it mean that Apache will read a part of a file , store it in a temporary file, then read another part and adds this part to the temporary file and so on until the whole uploaded file is read? Thank you for the reply. Lad -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
