Hi, I've looked at mod_upload and if I understand it correctly, mod_upload is removing attachments from multipart/form-data posts and sending them up the chain and putting the other fields of the mime encoded multipart/form-data into a table which is part of the request record. I don't see the Content-Length in headers_in being changed anywhere in the module. Why does mod_upload not need to change the Content-Length?
In my filter, I'm changing the Content-Length right after the scripts are done processing the multipart/form-data which was saved to /tmp as so: 1. Save multipart/form-data to /tmp 2. Invoke scripts to process multipart/form-data 3. Read processed multipart/form-data from /tmp and put into brigade. 4. >>>>>> Update Content-Length in headers_in <<<<< 5. Insert EOS into brigade 6. return APR_SUCCESS. Any hints?

Why can't > I change the size of the multipart/form-data post. *When* are you changing the header in headers_in? I expect you might want to look at the note on order of processing in my article at http://www.apachetutor.org/dev/request -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
