I have a client that has specific needs for an upload utility. They don't care what language I use, they simply want it webbased. They can't use ftp (the users are not knowledgeable enough, nor do they want to use client apps other than browsers). I can't go into the rest of the details as to why they want a system like this, but they need upload capabilities in the hundreds of MB on a variety of shared hosting systems.
Soo.... php has a 2 MB default Apache limit. Perl seems to simply cut off at 12160000 B on one server and times out on another (was using a 23MB file for test purposes). What can I do to get around this? I'm even looking at Java Servlets which I will explore tomorrow.. but since I have never cracked my Java Servlets book until tonight, I'm afraid that I won't know if that will allow me to do what I want until I try it tomorrow. So I am asking all the knowledgeable and wise gurus out there. What language do I use (please say perl) and what settings do I set in order to facilitate the upload of >100MB files through a web interface on a hosting system that I have no configurational control over? Or do I simply inform my client that this kind of capability does not exist with current technologies?
