Hi,
Why is the generic POST data size limitation to 50 k nessesary in
http.h?
I lost about 1 hour looking for pointer size issues, as i realized
that ape-server does not handle commands sent via POST over a certain
size. The APE-server just closed the connection,
without any type of warning, or error.
First i thought of this being a bug. So I tried using very long
inlinepush commands, in order to provoke a segfault, so that i could
find out where things go wrong.
But nothing happened, the server just kept closing the connection
for web requests over some size around 50k
Finally I stumbled upon a preprocessor def MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH which
is set to 51200 in src/http.h (server source).
The only hint to that was a brief comment aside the preprocessor
definition in the source: //50kb
I think this is the sort of things that scare users away. 50 kb is not
an obvious limitation,
and just introducing it without a big warning in the doc (wiki?), and
least any kind of log output or response code
is not near any kind of good software writing practice. I would have
expected more diligence in a 1.0+ version,
but .... well. Let's leave it there.
At least now google knows one more answer.

P.S. I also noticed that the offset member of _websocket_size is
short, not size_t, although it is involved in pointer calculations.
This will certainly fail .... (usage is in http.c)
