hi Eric, thanks for the response. But I was looking from the point of adding the handler to apache. that way, if an uploaded file is larger than allowed size, it wont even get posted to the tmp directory and you wont end up using any bandwidth / memory with the illegal upload.
its working correctly, except invoking the 500.html instead of the appropriate msg pranav.
