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?
