What's the recommended way to validate file upload's size and type (either filename or MIME) before downloading it into the temp directory? I don't want the user to be able to upload a 200 MB file in its entirety before having the controller reject it for being too big.
You're looking for http://search.cpan.org/~flora/Catalyst- Runtime-5.80007/lib/Catalyst.pm#ON-DEMAND_PARSER
Set that, and the body of the request will only be read when you access it. So you can check the content-length (and other headers) and reject the request before the rest of the content arrives...
