Right, but the script exits immediately. I *suspect* the complete

execution of anything beyond its initial preparations, rather than
meaning it will truncate the request.
Well, I tried this:
if (($POST_MAX > 0) && ($content_length > $POST_MAX)) {
$self->cgi_error("413 Request entity too large -- POST_MAX is::
$POST_MAX -- Your POST was:: $content_length");
return;
}
It was fun hacking CGI.pm for the first time, but my changes did not
make a difference. So then, I guess you're right, the script must wait
for the server to get the entire file before doing anything with it? I
did not understand that before...
That's kind of sucky, I mean that you can't interrupt the request with
the script being called.
Anyway, thank you for helping me better understand this Wiggens, I can
move on now ;)
Kindest Regards,
