Rails - Jul 2005 - Monitoring File Uploads

Is there any way to monitor file uploads on Rails, particularly the
size of files? I want to set a maximum upload size, but I''m not clear
on how to do it.

I know that lighttpd has a file upload progress module -- which would
give access to file size -- that they''ll be releasing with 1.4, but
I''d like a solution now if I could get it. Also, this is obviously
done now in any event.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

With Apache you can set the LimitRequestBody directive which will  
stop the upload after a number of bytes are uploaded while they are  
being uploaded.

If you wish to do display the uploading status while the file is  
being uploaded, you can look at the UploadProgress module included in  
rails 0.13 and higher.  You will need a web server of Apache or  
Lighttpd 1.4 with the compiled C FCGI bindings.

An example of how it works can be found here: http://
