Question

Whenever I attach a file with a size less than around 700kBytes, the attachment works, whether I am using a Win95 or Win2k client. HOWEVER, when I attach a larger file using Win2k, it fails. It works from Win95.

The failure looks like this: When I click on the upload button, it takes a long time, and finally comes back with a page (http://myserver.com/twiki/bin/upload/Test/VpN1) which says:

The page cannot be displayed (and more text)

The file does NOT show up on the server. Nothing!

Again, this is only when I am using Win2k IE5 and the attached file is larger than about 700kB.

Anyone have any ideas????

I'm experiencing the same problem for attaching a 13meg .avi file using an apache, red hat linux, win2k browser. -- BrettButler - 11 Dec 2002

Answer

Just an idea - the CGI.pm module may have a limit on the size of POST data. See perldoc CGI for more information, and TWikiDebugging to turn on extra debugging.
