Thanks Majid well there are Flash based on front end solutions e.g. SWFUpload, but it's not possible in Javascript. I think it's still important to have a server solution as well. I do agree though that it's kind of crazy to find out AFTER you upload a file, that the file was too big!

So, how would you recommend I capture the fact that the uploaded file is larger than our limit, and feedback to the user? thanks Brian ________________________________________ From: AOLserver Discussion [AOLSERVER@LISTSERV.AOL.COM<mailto:AOLSERVER@LISTSERV.AOL.COM>] On Behalf Of Jim Davidson [jgdavid...@mac.com<mailto:jgdavid...@mac.com>] Sent: 23 June 2011 13:47 To: AOLSERVER@LISTSERV.AOL.COM<mailto:AOLSERVER@LISTSERV.AOL.COM> Subject: Re: [AOLSERVER] Problem with file uploads larger than maxinput Hi, The short answer is no, there's no access log entry although there may be a server log message buried in the chatter. The reason is the access log is a "trace" that fires at the end of an HTTP connection and the request isn't a connection until all the content has been read and the data structures hooked up and passed over to a connection thread. In retrospect, transaction logging should be a lower-level built-in that can deal with logging these aborted transactions. You can see what may be logged in the server log by looking at the LogReadError function at the end of nsd/driver.c, maybe a E_RRANGE, "max request exceeded". -Jim On Jun 23, 2011, at 6:04 AM, Fenton, Brian wrote: > Hi > > When I upload a file larger than the maxinput I get the Firefox browser page > with a "the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" > message.
