Hi I'm sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong place, but I'm not sure where my problem is actually occuring, I thought Tomcat itself might be able to help.
I'm trying to build an app that allows users to upload files to the webserver. My problem is I need to prevent them uploading large (more than a few MB) files, which will waste both their bandwidth and mine. I'm using Jakarta Commons FileUpload (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/) to parse the multipart form, but it can't seem to prevent the end-users uploading large files. The user sends the large file and then once it's finished, FileUpload will display the error. But the user still wasted all that bandwidth. I even tried just throwing an exception straight away on the JSP page the form submits to, but the file is still sent. I tried placing a maxPostSize="2000000" in my server.xml Connector on port 8080. This didn't seem to have any effect though, even after restarting Tomcat. I'm using Tomcat 5.0.16 in standalone mode, port 8080. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can prevent the waste of bandwidth (and possible DoS attacks) please let me know.
