Hello.
Can someone enlighten me? I want to enable huge (around 300MB) file uploads on my Drupal installation. Will setting the php settings on max ram and max file upload size force EVERY request to allocate that much right away? If so, how can I ensure that only the pages that require this would get that much RAM allocated to them. Also, any recommendations on non-PHP solutions (like Perl scripts) that can be integrated with Drupal that would address this problem, are very welcome.
It is my understanding (correct me please if I am wrong) that an HTTP upload is not necessarily stored in RAM until it's fully completed, but it's rather the PHP way of handling the situation. That's why I am assuming that a properly crafted Perl script, linked to in the Drupal installation could deliver this functionality without requiring so much RAM at once for each upload.
I very much apreciate your comments and advice.
Thanks.
Alex.
