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
