Hi Stephen,
In our learning environment we consider 100Mbyte enough for students to
build a portfolio. That limit has been established with 20000 students
in mind that might all use that amount of space. (2Tbyte in total)
What is your view on that? And, just curious, for how many students do
you have to cater?
Cheers Hugo

Onderwerp: [Building Sakai] Supporting files over 2G
Hi all,
Having recently tried to upload via DAV a file of around 2.7G, I
discovered that even if you fix an issue in dav which checks the
Content-Length for no real reason, ContentHostingService treats the
content length throughout as an int, as does the ServletResponse API
(c/f http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4187336).
I'm sort of surprised that this 2G limit has been around for so long and
continues to be around. Fixing it is not trivial but not impossible
either. Should we do so, or do we subscribe to Sun's view that "2G is
enough"? :-)
Cheers
Stephen
