This depends on how exact do you want the limiting to be. It is possible,
for example, to write a PerlFixupHandler, hook on the PUT method, check
for the storage used by that user, and then return something like
Apache2::Const::HTTP_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE or even ::FORBIDDEN if the
storage space is exceeded.
This does not catch the case when the user is below the allocated quota,
but a large PUT request exceeds it, nor the case when multiple PUT requests
are initiated at the same time. Depending on the backing storage, it could
even be possible to map the problem to a filesystem quota.
Hope this helps,
