There are two ways to use the Apache FileUpload Library.
FileUpload
http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/using.html
And Streaming FileUpload API
http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/streaming.html
They both work great except that the streaming API does not seem to have a way to check the fileSize before processing the stream.
Is this because the Streaming API fundamentally does not know the file size or because I need to manually read some headers or something to get the Multipart upload size?
In Java, we can use Files. size(path) to get the size of a file in bytes.
The property, maxRequestLength indicates the maximum file upload size of 28.6MB, supported by ASP.NET. You cannot upload the files when the FileSize property is below the maxRequestLength value.
spring. servlet. multipart. max-file-size is set to 128KB, meaning total file size cannot exceed 128KB.
There's no way to know the size of a part of a multipart request without consuming the whole HTTP request body. And once the consuming of the HTTP request body has started, you cannot stop consuming it halfway. It has to be consumed until the last byte before a response can ever be returned. That's just the nature of HTTP and TCP/IP. To keep the server memory usage low, you can however just discard the read bytes when they exceeds the size (i.e. check it inside the read loop and don't assign them to any variable).
Your best bet is to validate the file length in JavaScript before the upload takes place. This is supported in browsers supporting HTML5 File
API. The current versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and Android support it. IE9 doesn't support it yet, it'll be in the future IE10.
<input type="file" ... onchange="checkFileSize(this)" />
Where the checkFileSize()
look something like this
function checkFileSize(inputFile) {
var max = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10MB
if (inputFile.files && inputFile.files[0].size > max) {
alert("File too large."); // Do your thing to handle the error.
inputFile.value = null; // Clear the field.
}
}
