[hunchentoot-devel] Calculating size of the uploaded file

[Hans Hübner]

Andrei,

there are no specific hooks in the code that report the file size of
uploaded files, but the situation has changed compared to 2008 in that
we do no longer intend to replace the rfc2388 library in the
foreseeable future.  There are some pending changes regarding how
uploaded files are handled which have not been merged because we're
waiting for rfc2388 to be updated in Quicklisp.  Maybe these changes
help you, too: https://github.com/fighting-spirit/hunchentoot/commit/301db3d6f6291dd8690b095ee708fff2d53f5664

If you have any suggestions in form of a patch based on these changes
that would help you get your problem solved, please let us know.

-Hans
