Re: How to find uploaded data size from content-length

In article <Xns97AA916DBEDB4castleamber@xxxxxxxxxxx>,

You mean it reads until it detects that the max size has been reached?
Yes, that's what I expect, since one can keep streaming bytes, and only
when the max has been reached the script knows it was too much.


When CONTENT_LENGTH not given during request, server has to compute it
from real data received in STDIN : so, in this case how does CGI.pm is
able to stop receiving to STDIN precisely when $CGI::POST_MAX is reached
?

Not sure it's able to do that. What do you think ?
