Thank you for your reply. I know that MAX_FILE_SIZE is an advisory to
the browser, but it appears that it's common to check it on the server
side as well, e.g. I've seen some PHP code which does this.
Are there any other ways to restrict the file size for uploaded files
in Allegroserve? If not then somebody can really kill your server by
uploading files which are way bigger than your physical memory.
Thanks
Petter
