Hi All

It's about the max allowable upload again.

Earlier, I was trying to upload a single file (from a servlet) > 2GB,
which didn't work. The methods I've been using are as in the mail below.
It seems that the "handleFile" method isn't being invoked at all.

I tried to break the file into smaller chunks < 2GB, but even in that
case, the upload doesn't work, and now I'm getting an error from the
browser -

"The connection was reset         
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again
in a few
          moments.
    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
          connection.
    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy,
make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."

There is a similar error on IE too.

My question is - if there is a problem with the file size, then the
servlet should throw an exception while invoking the commons upload
APIs. But, it's not going there at all - as it seems. I had a feeling
that there might be limits in size in the HTTP request itself - but even
that's not the case because I've been able to upload bigger files with
the same code on a Mac Powerbook (using commons-upload 1.0). It's
failing when I'm trying to do the same thing on a WinXP machine or a
Linux machine. Earlier I posted a message suspecting that it probably
has something to do with addressing system of the machines - like 64 bit
or 32 bits - but I thought that would be the case for a single file
size.

Has anyone been able to upload files > 2GB on a windows or linux (32
bit) system? Can you please give me some pointers?

Thanx in advance
Arijit
