[Zope] HTTP upload - filesize limit

[Eric Walstad]

Hi Gitte,
I am doing something similar and hadn't yet had any problems with file
size...
So, I tried uploading a really huge file and sure enough, it choked.  I
store the uploaded files on the filesystem with LocalFS.  When the file
upload died, there was a tiny file on the file system with the name of the
file that I tried to upload.
I did a bit of tweaking of Apache's TimeOut directive in the httpd.conf file
and found I can control when the file transfer will die by changing that
value.  In general, the upload stops about 4 seconds (an *old* machine here
:) after the timeout time is reached.  So, I'm assuming that the TimeOut
value just needs to be bumped up a bit, depending on what you perceive to be
a max file size and minimum transfer speed.
I hope this helps.
Eric.
