#17 Large file uploads mishandled

[Stephen Davidson]

When files are uploaded, they are temporarily stored on
the heap. When large files are uploaded, system runs
out of memory.

Proposed solution:
1) Save immediately to a temporary file
2) Add a custom serializable attribute to the parameter

Custom Serializable would have;
1) File Name
2) File Handle
3) When being serialized/deserialized, would read/write the
file to the Stream.

NOTE: Comments can be posted to this bug report!

Starting to deploy this.
Also, now doing full demos. Next demo is using multiple
1.5GB+ files.

Anybody wants to make suggestions, NOW IS THE TIME!

Should probably comment that this also applies to downloads.

Struts is limiting file sizes to 250MB!!!! Default Apache
config setting, which Keel will need to override. Apache is
actually accepting/rejecting the files in front of Keel even
seeing them, so having a check in Keel is redundant. Keel
(specifically, clnt-struts) needs to configure the Apache
utilities BEFORE the request is sent to upload the file.
This should probably be done on startup.
