I have this, very simple input filter
def inputfilter(filter):
if filter.req.method != 'POST':
filter.pass_on()
return
filter.req.log_error('first read')
s = filter.read()
while s:
filter.req.log_error('writing (%s)' % len(s))
filter.write(s)
#filter.flush()
s = filter.read()
if s is None:
filter.req.log_error('closing')
filter.close()
I would like to use an input filter for uploading large files.
I would expect that after each writing/reading, filter releases memory.But
instead memory
increases during reading/writing and no memory is released after each
reading/writing.
Is it a common feature that the filter during reading/writing does NOT release
memory and
memory increases until the whole file is uploaded?
Or is my presumption correct that the memory should be released during each
reading/writing in the filter?
Thank you for help and reply.
Lad.
