[Zope-dev] zope /tmp file usage

I did not understand why people was replying the same answer as I did.
That's simple: I did not reply to the mailing list ;)

Hi Pavel,

when files are uploaded with WebDAV, they are part of an HTTP PUT request.

If the file is larger than LARGE_FILE_THRESHOLD, a temporary file is
created by the zhttp_collector in HTTPServer.py

class zhttp_collector:
    def __init__(self, handler, request, size):
        from ZServer import LARGE_FILE_THRESHOLD
        self.handler = handler
        self.request = request
        if size > LARGE_FILE_THRESHOLD:
            # write large upload data to a file
            from tempfile import TemporaryFile
            self.data = TemporaryFile('w+b')
        else:
            self.data = StringIO()
        request.channel.set_terminator(size)
        request.collector=self

Regards,
Patrick.
