Hi Gabriel,
I don't mind so much that Apache/mod_fcgid buffers the entire input, but even
after the upload has completed and the input has been passed to the fastcgi
application, Apache has still not freed the memory. Subsequent uploads just
keep adding to the overall Apache memory usage.
Unfortunately in my situation, I cannot simply tell the system not to use
fastcgi for upload scripts as the system is used to host PHP sites for
customers. I guess my only option at this stage is to limit Apache memory
using ulimit.
