http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32782 Summary: Feature Request Product: Commons Version: 1.0 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: File Upload AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As per an email discussion with Martin Cooper, I would like to suggest that when a FileUpload request fails because the file size exceeded the maximum size, that the maximum size be stated in the error message. This would help the user since he would now know the maximum size; otherwise, he won't know how small a file will fit within the maximum size, just that he had exceeded an unspecified limit. It might be even more helpful if the message stated the name and size of the user's file that had violated the maximum size. For instance: "The file you just tried to upload, foo.jpg, was 2,000,000 bytes in size which exceeds the maximum size supported by this server, 500,000 bytes." This would help the user determine which file was the offender and how much smaller it needed to be to satisfy the server's limits. Of course, if the user was trying to upload several files, it is the aggregate size of all of the files that violates the maximum size. In that case, perhaps all the names and sizes of the files involved should be specified, as should the maximum size allowed by that server. This starts to be an unwieldy message but it would be very useful nonetheless, at least in my view, and would enable even a very non-technical user to get out of trouble by themselves without involving the server's technical staff. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
