Hi, I'm writing a ruby on rails application that allows the user to
submit a link of a file which my app will then download.
Right now my app blindly downloads the file (which is 1-2mb on
average)
I'm worried about pranksters who would intentionally submit links to
30gb files.
Is there a way to set the maximum size of a file that I'm downloading?
One possible solution is to parse the content-length field of the file
header. But the server need not send this field along with the file.
I just want my application to stop downloading when the file gets to a
certain size (say 2mb) and alert the user that the file they submitted
is too big.
Thanks!

Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I recall there was some magic hidden field - google
for 'upload form max_file_size'
Other than that, you can always put:
<p>Please, don't upload files bigger than X kb</p>
