in thread retrieving users input from the keyboard while perl is running in the remote webserver

Hi there,
thanks for your quick reply! This is THW code oft the upload-code:
<br>
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw ( fatalsToBrowser );
use File::Basename;

$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS=0; # Allow file uploads

my $query = new CGI;
my $filename = $query->param("datei");
my $kunde = $query->param("kunde");
my $upload_dir =$query->param("ziel");
my $groesse = $query->param("groesse");
my $action ="upload ".$filename;
undef $fehler;


$CGI::POST_MAX = 1024 * $groesse;

 $content_length = $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'};

if ($content_length > $CGI::POST_MAX){
erlaubnis();
if ($sonder ne 'xxx'){
$fehler =" Datei groesser als erlaubt!";
goto Meldung;
# custom request entity too large error handling }
}

}

    So if you can stand JavaScript, and most people can, you could do something like this to get the file size before uploading. If your application can keep track of how much free space you have, a very basic example would be either querying this when rendering the upload page, or via a call back before you begin the file upload. As a side note your closing code tag should be </code>, rather than <code>.

      This is definetly pointing in into the right direction!
      However, I guess it can't work on machines that block Java, can it ?
      As an explanation : I am offering webspace to my students in order they can share project-related files,
      but just those (meaning no Films, etc.) Only persons worth trusting (meaning me)
      should be able to upload larger files. As a traveller I am working on different computers
      which I can not alter...

        For completeness, yes, this is JavaScript, rather than Java. Unless you're using some sort of client side technology (JavaScript etc) then you are not going to be able to identify the file size before upload. By default JavaScript is enabled on all mainstream browsers, for quite some time now. Other than that you're dependent on trying to upload the file and checking. See also CGI -> Processing a file upload field, including the section on legacy usage.
