Hi,
I am using the Uploader to post a 8GB file to the Server but the Uploader only appears to be seeing half the file. it shows the size as 446221385 bytes. Everything workin fine for the half the file it sees but why doesnt it see the entire file? Smaller files read and run and expected. Can you create a sample 8gb file and see if you guys get the same results to see if this is a bug? My production server is Windows 2K3 running IIS6 is there filtering there as well, like IIS7?

Hi,
That's normal. There is a content-length field in the HTTP header and many browsers interpret it as 32 bit integer. That introduces an up limit of 4G. Some browsers interpret it as signed 32 bit integer, which further cut the limit half to 2G. Since this is a hard limit imposed by browsers, there isn't much you or us can do about it.
Thanks!

Ah, Ok i thought that was the limit is it was getting around but I see its getting around the Memory Limit but cant get around the HTTP Header Limit. So quick question why doesnt the Uploader have a MaxFile size of like 4G then?

I guess it more of a request but the MaxFileSize if left undefined it set to "UNLIMITED" which isnt true persay. Could you look into make the Default MaxFileSize Property set to 4G since HTTP Content length currently cant not handle a higher value

Uploader runs on top of browsers. If browser can't even correctly interprets/report the file size, how would you expect the uploader to be able to?
There are all kind of known restrictions that are completely beyond our reach. Some are rather obvious such as there is nothing we can do about if you server run out of harddisk space. Some are not as obvious but it's still a no go.
Thanks
