Hello,

Does a FileUpload object have a get_size() method?

I'd like to limit the size of an uploaded file before commiting it to the ZODB. I've been Googling for a while. Is it handled differently on a FileUpload object.

I'm planning to process with a Python Script.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

The fileupload object is simply a file. (can be cStringIO, can be tempfile - depending on size)

Best is to do so:

maxsize=1<<20 # 1MB

fu=context.REQUEST.get('fileupload') fu.seek(maxsize)

if fu.read(1): raise OverflowError("File too big!") # or something like that

fu.seek(0) # rewind to start

filefolder.manage_addFile(...)

This avoids loading the whole file into memory to find out.

Well, you could (and should!) study the python documentation. But this one is only an example. You can write the maximum however you want, as literal value: 1000000 or 1e+6 or 1000*1000 or 10**6 ...

If you have an imagination of what value you want, just write it there :-)
