Thanks Waylan but... It appears that when I configure Apache to limit the request body, if a file is uploaded that exceeds the setting, Apache doesn't seem to pass on anything to mod_python and records an error in error.log. Thus the view never gets called so there is no opportunity to raise the error in the view.
It seems that mod_python interferes with the mechanism that Apache uses when one configures the ErrorDocument setting. The user gets a message from the browser saying that the connection was dropped. Does anyone know how to get hold of this error message so that a *nice* message can be sent to the user? Are there any other options? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
