How can i increase the content-length while posting?

$request->header('Content-Length', "$the_length");

Check the http specs for the correct usage of content-length, i.e. apparently decimal number of OCTETs.

Also see: sending a large file via http.

This wouldn't be, perhaps, a Windows server, would it?

Check out binmode and see if it helps.

More than likely, the code setting the content length is getting hosed *because* there's a null in the data stream. I think LWP::Simple::Post is probably the wrong module to upload a file. You're probably better off using LWP::UserAgent directly.

Hi, are you seeking for help for the sending client script or for the receiving server script?

Some code would be helpful, so one knows how you do it.

Standalone script

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple::Post qw(post);

#binary file
open(FH, "binaryfile");
my $Data = do{local $/; <FH>};
close(FH);

my $url = 'http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/index.pl';

my $content = post($url, $Data);

print $content;

Server script

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use CGI;

my $q = new CGI;

print "\nMethod :", $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD};
print "\nContent_Length : ", $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH};

#binary file
open (FH, ">binaryoutput");
print FH $q->param() if ($q->param());
close(FH);

In the server script, i need to do several process and also i don't want to upload concept. For some concept, I want to post the data and retrive in the server look like parameters

Could this be another binmode issue? Try adding a binmode FH right after opening your file. You could also print out the length of $Data right before you post it to make sure it's the size you're expecting.
