Mongrel users - Mar 2007 - cancel running request

Hi everybody,

I''m making a plugin to limit the maximum request size (for file
uploads). Instead of canceling the request after it''s completely
in (with the method ''process''). I would like to cancel it
based
on the CONTENT_LENGTH in the method request_begins. Usability
thingie ;-)

how can i cancel the running request and send a response, instead
of waiting? currently i have these 2 methods:

  def request_begins(params)
    return unless params[Mongrel::Const::REQUEST_METHOD]
=''POST''

    req_size = params[Mongrel::Const::CONTENT_LENGTH].to_i || 0
    if req_size > MAX_REQUEST_SIZE
      @request_too_big = true
    else
      @request_too_big = false
    end
  end

  def process(request, response)
    if @request_too_big
      response.start(413, true) do |head,out|
        out << "Request too big, probably you are trying to
upload a file that is too big"
      end
    end
  end

tnx,

Tim
