Hi, I have a problem with using the LimitRequestBody directive to limit file upload size. I'm using apache 2.2.14 on linux (CentOS). If I attempt to upload a large file via a browser (I've tried this with Firefox and Safari), Apache does not drop the connection and only gives an error once all the file data has been sent. E.g, if I set LimitRequestBody to 1 (byte) and then try to upload a 10MB file, the connection is not dropped immediately. However, although the connection is not dropped, the error log is immediately updated with: "Requested content-length of $X is larger than the configured limit of $Y". Oddly, if I telnet to the server and send something like: POST /webappdir/ HTTP/1.0 Content-Length: 3000000000 Apache sends a 413 and closes the connection as soon as I enter the line break after the headers. I've checked that Firefox is sending an appropriate Content-Length header, so the difference in browser/telnet behavior should not be down to this. The POST requests are being handled by a Perl app (using Catalyst). I get the same results running it under mod_fastcgi and mod_perl. I've heard that LimitRequestBody doesn't work properly with mod_fastcgi, but there are many references to people using it with mod_perl. In any case, since requests over telnet like the one above do cause the connection to be dropped immediately, I don't think this is a mod_perl/mod_fastcgi issue per se. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid here, or there is something wrong with my configuration, but if anyone could shed some light on this this it would be very much appreciated.
