Maximum upload size

[skyy]

Hi.. i am doing some uploading of files using CGI with perl script..

the $CGI::POST_MAX is used to limit the maximum size of the upload file.

Did anyone know what is the maximum size that i can set for $CGI::POST_MAX? and thus the maximum upload size for file upload...

Thanks!

There is no limit. But the server where you upload the file to may have it's own limit, which is seperate from any limit you set with POST_MAX.

Yes, the server may not have an actual limit to the upload size, but most servers at the least have a Timeout before a process is abandoned. This would cause a defacto limit to upload size if the upload took longer than the Timeout.
