Hi, Thanks for putting together Commons FileUpload - can see many advantages in using it. Whilst looking at the APIs I realised that the detection of files that are larger than the user-defined size limit set as...
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory); upload.setFileSizeMax(10000000L); will only operate AFTER the file has been received in the servlet request. Certainly for my purposes, this would be too late. I would not want my user to wait for ages while her browser tries to post, say, a 2 GB file - when the file size limit is 10Mb. Given that javascript cannot obtain access to local files (and hence detect the problem early), this is a thorny problem. Have I miscounstrued things? Any suggestions? Would the streaming API help? regards, Rob
