I've only worked with Squid; In squid, there is an option to limit the size of a post request as a response to avoiding Denial-of-Service attacks... What I would suggest is to find out if somewhere along the line there is a Proxy (like a transparent one on a firewall, for example), that is intercepting your request. One way to test this is to telnet to port 80 of your Zope/Apache box, and try typing a garbage HTTP (poorly formed) request and hit enter a few times; if there is a proxy, it would likely generate an error message at this point. If the error message is from Apache, you are likely not suffering a Proxy problem, but an Apache problem... If you get a plain-old disconnect, I'm not quite sure... Give it a try.

Our server is located elsewhere sp no - it's not on the same network. We are using apache in front of Zserver and ProxyPass to redirect to the zope sites. Got a hint/solution? I'm stuck.

If you are connecting through an HTTP proxy, there are sometimes limitations of the request size of a POST request. Are you trying this on a client machine on the same physical network as your Zope server, without any proxy (transparent or otherwise) standing in the way to broker the HTTP connection?

Hello,

I have created a product in Zope which is based on external files. The problem is that everything works okay if I upload a file with a filesize

of 10 MB. But it fails if I upload a file with a filesize of 18 MB.

When I worked with PHP there was a limit in the php.ini file where you set the maximum size of an uploaded file.

Does the same work for python/Zope or is it something else that is wrong ?

Regards,
