Hmm. CF handles all http in blocks. It doesn't stream any of it. But you...
might, be able to write a cgi/dll that you can post an upload form to and
have the cgi abort the process immediately if the file is above a certain
length.
I don't recall offhand what the headers are like for a form post. (I should,
but my mind's fuzzy today.) Do you get a content length first? I think you
don't you? If you do that would provide a server-side way of refused file
uploads based on size. (The cgi would get the length and immediately send
relocation or something.)
But that's completely outside of CF as I know it.
