POST_MAX and mod_perl ~2.0

[Charles <fr...@peakpeak.com>]

To alter the allowable size of posted material under mod_perl 1.3x you would
use this:

use Apache::compat;
use Apache::Request;

handler
{
   my $r = shift;
   my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r, POST_MAX=>(10*1024));
	$apr->args; #get your params here...
}

What is the suggested technique for mod_perl 2.0?

I understand that Apache::Request is replaced with Apache::RequestRec and
Apache::RequestIO and Apache::Request does not compile with a complaint of
Can't locate object method "boot" via package "mod_perl::boot" at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Apache/Table.pm line 6.  I seem to be running into a 1024
limit on urlencoded POSTs with my current configuration.

nope. Apache::Request for 2.0 is being in development (the c library 
first), once it'll be available it'll have the same functionality as its 
older brother, plus some new things.

I'm not sure I understand what do you mean, you want to restrict max 
POST size or do you have some other problem. Please post a simple 
example presenting the problem.
