NimbostratusFile size limitation
Can anybody help out with the below request !!!!
I am looking to setup an irule that will check the size of a document posted via a website and limit this to a specific size eg 10mb, if a request is over this size I am then looking to redirect the user to another web page.
Can any Irule experts assist with this request ?????

Andy_Herrman_22Is it possible for uploads to not contain a content length header value, or is that just for server responses? (I know server responses aren't required to have that in the header, not sure about requests).

aherrman, it is possible that clients could send a chunk encoded request without a Content-Length header. Clients can send a request with Transfer-Encoding: chunked, without specifying the content length. I'm not sure how you could enforce a limit without parsing the full request data. Nor am I sure how you could parse the full request data with iRules.
I don't think many clients use chunked encoding for requests though, so it might be something you could either ignore or block altogether.
