Hello,
Although RAM may limit some actions i truly doubt that its actually RAM size that limits the max upload size. It would be incredibly foolish for a browser developer to 1) load all data in RAM and 2) read RAM contents to socket. A proper, and i believe modern browser developers use this, technique is streaming from disk to socket, perhaps using a small buffered reader. Cheers, - Markus Jelsma Buyways B.V.
