Here's another patch for libapreq that should help keep Apache::Request from hogging memory during large file uploads. The 2 main problems with the multipart_buffer code are 1) the loop in multipart_buffer_fill needs "optimizing". The my_join call (line 142 in multipart_buffer.c) mallocs a brand new buffer with each pass of the loop. This is BAD. 2) multipart_buffer_read (line 225 in multipart_buffer.c) mallocs with each function call. A large file upload calls this code repeatedly (427-430 inapache_request.c), so you wind up shoving another copy of the entire file into r->pool. Here's the patch. I parsed a 50M file with it using Apache::Request, but that's about the full extent to which it's been tested.
