Subject: Re: Does maxPostSize has an effect on file upload?
Does a file upload as multipart/form-data not count to the
size of the POST?
No, as the doc make clear.
I'm not so sure the docs make it clear.
I think you have to read the relevant RFC:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1867.txt which is implicitly part of the
doc.
I'm not sure what part of that spec would apply.
Given the (Tomcat) documentation, one might reasonably believe that
the maxPostSize would refer to either the total Content-Length for an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST message or an individual
Content-Length of a single part of a multipart/form-data POST message.
The latter is not the case, and I think it's worth pointing that out.
Just a suggestion : maybe one of the Tomcat/Java gurus here could first explain to what
the maxPostSize attribute of the Connector really does relate ?
What /is/ being measured there ?
Is it, like, just the request's "Content-length" header, or is there a counter which
really counts the bytes being read e.g.
(and yes, obviously, if this is limited to an "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" POST,
then it wouldn't be just the Content-length header)
(and, if it covers a "multipart/form-data" POST, then is it the total body size, before of
after decoding the Base-64 encoded bits ?)
After all, this is a "Tomcat users" list, not a "Tomcat dev" list; so we can't really
expect the public here to go delve into the Java code to find out.
