Re: CGI::Fast timing out with uploads of large files not small ones

There is a limit set by $CGI::POST_MAX. Setting equal to -1 make it unlimited , e.g. $CGI_POST_MAX=-1; see Setting CGI::POST_MAX with CGI::Application

Also perhaps there are other methods to use for such large files. See CGI.pm and Large File Transfers.

Thanks. That was informative and I tried some experiments with different settings, but nothing changes in regards to the large file uploads timing out. I guess a work-around is to use SFTP, but I hope to eventually figure out a solution to the WWW upload form. Could the problem be the httpd daemon?	[reply]

`Could the problem be the httpd daemon?` not sure about httpd itself, but it is likely for other web-servers, like nginx, sitting in the middle, for example https://serverfault.com/questions/820597/nginx-does-not-serve-large-files	[reply] [d/l]
