Nope, good question. Simples way is to write a very little handler you put in front that simple checks the CONTENT_LENGTH and then redirects. Then put it in front in a -S mongrel.conf: uri "/", :handler => AhabTheMobyFileKiller.new(:path => "/file/upload"), :in_front => true Or, you could modify the stock upload handler to take another parameter. Kick back the patch if you do, other folks will probably want that. -- Zed A.
