hi ppl,
i have to upload very big files (could be bigger than 2gb) web-based
via http (e.g. <input type="file" name="test_browser" size="50"/>) to
our intranet tomcat server. Therefore i use following cgi script
(http://www.freeware-base.de/freeware-base-artikel11663.html) which has
been modified for our needs. It indicates upload speed, time left etc.
(see link). Everything works fine, speed is very
nice (transfer of 1GB in around 1minute) from a local or net drive to
the server. So i can exclude probs with the cgi script.
Problems occur if you wan't to upload files beeing bigger than 2GB. If
you click on the "browse" button of the element and want to choose such
a big file, its impossible. The file size of such big files (> 2GB) is
shown as "0" and you can't select them in the file browser. (tested it
on win, sun & linux machines)
Biggest file i could select was (2140686574Bytes = 1,99GB), but some i
need to upload, are ~4000000000Byte=4GB.
I did not find anything @ w3c about a size restriction of the element
type="file" and its file browser.
Anybody knows if there's a maximum file size the file browser can
handle and if there is a workaround, to be able to get bigger files?
Thanks in advance
greets darksaga
