File size limit for webdav upload

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

we set up what we thought to be a restriction of the file size allowed for upload. We did this in the portal via

System administration --> system configuration --> Knowledge Management --> Protocols --> WebDav --> Max WebDAV request size: 15728640 bytes.

We would have expected that to not allow us uploading any files larger than 15 MB. Turns out we were wrong and it does not work. Here is a http-trace of an upload of a 21 MB file.

Note the content length in the outbound message is 21832627.

Would anyone know any other way of preventing the upload of large files via a webDAV client?

Thank you very much.
