i use the following method to POST large file. i think the "multipart/form-data" type, make it possible to transfer the large file. maybe because of the large file is transferred in CHUNKED.
<form method="POST" enctype='multipart/form-data' action="upload.cgi">
<input type=file name=upload>
<input type=submit name=press value="OK">
</form>i scripted the above mentioned form using CURL.
curl --form upload=@localfilename --form press=OK [URL]
I even try to three concurrent clients to upload large files ( 3 x 600MB). No memory error.
post '/upload_file' => sub{
my $allupload = request->upload('filename');
my $FILENAME = $allupload->filename;
debug "FILENAME:".$FILENAME;
my $CONTAINERPATH = params->{'containerPath'};
debug "CONTAINER: ". $CONTAINERPATH;
my $UPLOAD_DIR = setting("REPOSITORY").$CONTAINERPATH.$FILENAME;
#CONTAINERPATH FORMAT : /Container1/
debug "UPLOAD_DIR: ". $UPLOAD_DIR;
$allupload->copy_to($UPLOAD_DIR);
};
But PUT definitely not working even for one client.
because DANCER require to put the whole complete BODY of HTTP request in a VARIABLE.[see Dancer Upload part]
So i am thinking whether it is possible to do "multipart" using PUT.

yes, i have memory issue, since http->body is kept in RAM.
but i wonder, how come the POST method does not have such issue?
