If "context.REQUEST.file" is the file name and not a
"ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload" object, then you
are doing something wrong. Either you use an HTTP "GET" request
or you do not use "multipart/formdata" as mime type.

A "FileUpload" object behaves like a file and you can
use the usual way to determine its size.
