 Description  « Hide
In mod_python.py/util.py, line 169, we stream a file upload to disk only if its Content-Disposition header features a filename attribute. Otherwise, the file is streamed to memory, thus opening a potential DoS attack by uploading very large files.

We should :

1) Always stream file upload to disk
2) Define a default maximum file size which could be overridable.
3) Allow for the user to specify in which directory file uploads should be made, with a default to a temporary directory / file.

ASF #332073 Wed Nov 09 16:07:27 UTC 2005 jgallacher Split Nicolas' fileupload tests into 3 separate tests as each one
exercises a different aspect of FieldStorage.read_to_boundary.
Changing the read_to_boundary implementation to fix one problem
could result in a regression.
The 3 tests are test_fileupload, test_fileupload_embedded_cr and
test_fileupload_split_boundary. Take a look at test/test.py for
more information.
