Yeah, exactly. :) Well, it's clear the browser gets the 413 packet, I just wish it would do something with it instead of acting on the RST's. > Could we perhaps consume and discard an additional LimitRequestBody amount > of traffic before our read-close? Probably it's worth a hack to find out > if this helps the client any. In my case this probably wouldn't as my LimitRequestBody is set to a very large value. I'd like for the client to being attempting an upload that is "too large" and for Apache to yell "Stop!" after it gets the Content-Length header and then have the browser actually acknowledge and display the error... would it work to have Apache consume a "bit more" of the data before aborting the connection? Probably not. Ray --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
