        NOTE: without [enctype] file will be transerred as string
    '''
    afile.seek(0,2) #move to end
    bytes=afile.tell()
    afile.seek(0) #rewind

    #optional--converto to KB/MB
    megs=bytes / 1048576.0

Hi,

I'm trying to get the size of a file uploaded via an HTML form before
it's written. "context.REQUEST.file" only accesses the file name, not
the content. How do I read the contents? Any help will be much appreciated.

TIA,
AnThu
