Re: [Slashcode-general] file upload

[Xiaowu G. <xg...@ia...>]

Hi Rod:

Yes, I am using 2.0. Sorry I forgot to mention this. I actually noticed 
that the default httpd.conf does not have an entry like LimitQuestBody, 
which is added in slash.conf, though. Is there any reason why slash does 
this. I placed my script in the original apache cgi-bin and it worked fine 
for read and returning smaller files, but failed when I tried with a big 
file. That is how I noticed the LimitRequestBody thing. I commented out the 
entry in the slash.conf file and it worked just fine. I am bit nervous, 
though, since I knows slash must do this for a reason.

Again, thank you for your help.
