Hello Shaun, I've entered a new issue for that: https://github.com/restlet/restlet-framework-java/issues/687. It is related to this one: https://github.com/restlet/restlet-framework-java/issues/67
I think that the idea is to wrap the stream of the Representation in order to count the number of read bytes. You can for example use a Filter set up in front of the root Restlet of the Restlet based application This sample code leverages the BoundedInputStream class (of org.apache.commons.io), which silently (which may not be convenient for you) prevent from reading extra bytes. @Override public Restlet createInboundRoot() { Router router = new Router(getContext()); [... definition of the router] // filter the root router. Filter filter = new Filter(getContext(), router) { @Override protected int beforeHandle(Request request, Response response) { if (request.isEntityAvailable()) { request.setEntity(new WrapperRepresentation(request.getEntity()) { public InputStream getStream() throws IOException { InputStream result = super.getStream(); if (result != null) { result = new BoundedInputStream(result, 2); } return result; }; public String getText() throws IOException { return BioUtils.toString(getStream(), getCharacterSet()); }; }); } return super.beforeHandle(request, response); } }; return filter; } I'm not sure it will be easy to inherit from httpServerHelper, adn I'm not sure the property "maxFormContentSize" can be used in this context.
