I know Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm can handle this an passes a temp file handle,
but for various reasons I can't use CGI.pm for this script.
Appreciate any help...

Perhaps correcting whatever "reasons" are hindering you from makingQuote:> I know Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm can handle this an passes a temp file handle,

Otherwise I'd say it's up to you to study the specs and reinvent thw
wheel, or take your cue from the existing CGI.pm source and base
yours on that. I'm sorry if that sounds unsympathethic, but what do
you expect when you come here saying "I know what the solution is but
I won't use it and I'm not telling you why, so please help me"?

1. Apache2.0 uploading large multipart/form-data truncated
I'm having problems uploading large binary files from a web browser
using Apache (2.0.45) on HP-UX 11. It seems that small binary files
(around 15k) upload OK, but larger files (>15k?) are getting
truncated.
When using CGI.pm (2.93), this will result in the infamous error
message:
CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?)
However, writing my own CGI client without the CGI Perl module, it
seems that Apache just stops sending the form data part way through,
i.e. data is truncated. This seems to be an Apache problem and the
client browser used makes no difference (tested with IE5.0 on NT and
Netscape 4.8 on HP-UX).
I've not changed any of the tunable Apache directives from defaults,
hence there should be no throttling based on file size, etc.
Running the same version of Apache on Linux (x86) doesn't seem to
exhibit this problem. I'm wondering if this is something funny with
HP-UX? I've spent a couple of days searching Google and it seems a
few people have hit the above CGI error with Apache2 on HP-UX,
although there is never a solution. For what its worth, the files I'm
trying to upload are binary Microsoft Excel about 17k in size.
I've had this problem for a while across the last 3 or 4 Apache 2
builds, but I'm getting pushed by my users to get the problem sorted.
Before I go digging into the Apache source, has anyone got any ideas?
Mark.
