Re: accessing http headers from form uploads in cgi/mod

CGI.pm will do it all for you. As part of the paramters for the file-upload field in a form it will give you the size of the upload, as well as enabling you to specify maximum upload size.

Doing the server-push for the progress counter is trivial. The server push can be done in CGI.pm or several other modules offer an automation of the process as well.

Most of the hosting companies I've tried restrict script execution time to 5-30 secs to prevent runaway/attacks. So you better be happy to do this on your own box.	[reply]
