[dancer-users] Starman large file upload

Can you give us an example of your code so we can help debug this?
But from my googling around, it's almost certainly a problem with how
the file is written from the client, through starman, to dancer and
then to disk.

Are you trying to parse forms or parts in the upload by any chance?

So you need to show us how you're using starman and what it's config
is before we can help here.   

Just increasing memory won't solve the problem.  You need to figure
out why starman is buffering the upload and how to get it out of the
middle.
