Their is no reason that you can't use the HTTP headers to determine
size, cgi.content_length will give you a good *approximation* of the
file size that is being uploaded. I say approximation because content
length is the size of all the content on the page, of which you might
have form fields or other variable length data being posted.
You could use something like :
<cfif cgi.content_length GT Application.maxFileSize>
<!--- someone is uploading a file bigger than we permit --->
<cflocation url="addDocumentError.cfm?error=fileSize">
</cfif>
I have to say this is one of the rather disappointing "features" of CF
....if you look at the raw information being sent to the server their is
enough information for CF to calculate how large a file is
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1867.txt?number=1867).
Hope this helps,
