The problem is just that increasing the limits in our main Squid and Apache pool would create DoS vulnerabilities, including the prospect of "accidental DoS". We could offer this service via another domain name, with a specially-configured webserver, and a higher level of access control compared to ordinary upload to avoid DoS, but there is no support for that in MediaWiki. We could theoretically allow uploads of several gigabytes this way, which is about as large as we want files to be anyway. People with flaky internet connections would hit the problem of the lack of resuming, but it would work for some. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
