[Xitami] LRWP post size limit???

[Joseph Saunders]

Ewen,

Thanks for the response.

What im trying to do is post a tar file (40 to 50 MB) to a device that has
a Xitami web server running.  The tar is used to reinitilize the device.
I can post with a regular cgibin but the post data part of the lrwp does not
all come through.

Http may seem awkward for this but it allows an upload to happen through port
port 80 which may be the only port open on some fire walls... (ftps may not be
allowed).

It _should_ work with 2.4d9 and 2.5b5, and I'd be interested in reports
if it doesn't.  There are bugs in all the previous 2.4d and 2.5b
versions which will cause issues with return amounts > 16KB (size where
it changed from all-in-memory to spool-to-disk).

FWIW, returning 40MB from a LRWP (or CGI or whatever) isn't all that
efficient; a 40MB temporary file will be written.  It's perhaps better
to issue a redirect to the location of the file.
