Due to the file size limitations of the common browsers like IE or
Firefox, I wanted to create a file uploader that doesn't use a browser,
but just posts a file to a program on a server.
I've searched for a module on CPAN that can do this easier, set the HTTP
headers automaticly... but I couldn't find such a thing.
Which browser related file size limitations are you talking about? CGI.pm
or CGI::UploadEasy allows you to set the max size to whatever value you
wish.
I haven't set any upload limit in a script I use for uploading files, but I
couldn't upload more than 130 MB with Firefox and more than 150 MB with
Internet Explorer, even though I tried for more times.
I was told that the browsers have a hard coded file upload limit that can't
be changed, and that the restrictions that the server-side programs can make
is usually used for setting a lower limit.
I was recommended that I shouldn't upload such big files using HTTP, but it
would be an easier solution if it would be possible, and I would like to be
able to use HTTP for uploading files up to 2 GB.
I have also read that this is another reason why there were made some file
upload widgets that use Flash for uploading files.
Well, I don't know what's the real truth, but the fact is that I wasn't able
to upload big files.
Thanks.
