[Zope] HTTP upload - filesize limit

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

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.

Hmm... you've got a point.
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.
