If you set the limit in the webserver config then it will terminate

I probably should not get involved in a discussion like this, but I
can't help it. If the purpose is to save bandwidth, does the webserver
terminate the connection *after* if has uploaded to the specified
limit?


The webserver doesn't KNOW what php's bandwidth limit is. It takes ALL the POST data of which the uploaded file is part, and gives it to PHP.

Indeed, it can only enforce it's own limitations, not PHP's. And that's where any reasonable limitation should take place, as it can and will drop a connection, instead of just (like PHP) ignoring the data but still allowing it to get in AFAIK.
