Hi Monks,
I get stuck in figuring out, how I can limit the file upload size within Mason.

I've got the following Mason code :

<%perl>
my $apr = Apache::Request->instance($r,POST_MAX => 1);
my $status = $apr->parse;
if ($status) {
print "Too big";
}else{
print "OK"
</%perl>
[download]

Like in the documentation of Apache::Request I create a new instance of the magic $r object, and limit this size to 1 byte for testing.

When I call this mason dokument from within a form and upload a file bigger then 1byte I always get a OK back!?

Sure I can get the filesize of $apr with the methodes $apr->tempname and the stat this.

But as I understand the documentation, there must be a possibility to do this with the parse function.

Can anyone bring some light in my $r->darkness :-)

Thanks

<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
