Hi David, [CUT]
I think the question needs to be not if and how much, but why? HTTP is designed to transfer hypertext, not files.[CUT]
That's right, I agree with you, I considered to use FTP because of that, but I was curious about some HTTP related transfers. [CUT]
You also want to look at the upload file limits, which are a subset of the POST limits. The POST limit has to be larger than the upload file limit.
Yes, sure, as the PHP guys recommend, that's why I set post_max_size=3.5G and upload_max_filesize=3G. Also `memory_limit' must be larger than `post_max_size', as you can see from my previous message. My PHP installation is also compiled with large file support, I double-checked that the Makefile had these compiler flags: -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
I propose you look at FTP transfers and use the cURL functions to do this.[CUT] [CUT] That strikes me to be the way better approach for moving huge files and remedies any potential timeout problems.
Yes, no doubt about it. I agree, I was just curious about POST limits.
