[users@httpd] Limit on content size

Apache 2.11:

Is there a way to limit the size of transmission from clients? If for
eg if they send 1G size of transmission to our server then reject that
with some error message.

Re: [users@httpd] https very slow

Did you look at the HTTP logs to see if there was anything that had
changed?  Maybe there is a child process that has gone south??

[users@httpd] https very slow

Posted by Malka Cymbalista <Ma...@weizmann.ac.il>.
We are running Apache 2.2.6 with mod_ssl on a Linux machine running RedhHat Enterprise release 4.
Two days ago we started experinecing a problem -whenever anyone goes to an https address, things are very very slow.  The page eventually comes up but it takes a very long time.  Until 2 days ago, everything was working fine and we are not aware of any changes.  The SSL certifucate is valid until June2011.
 
Any ideas for what we can try to do to solve the problem will be appreciated.

Looking at the apache docs it looks like max size of request body is
2gb. But for POST I don't think there is any limit. So does it mean
that if I don't specify limitrequestbody then apache anyways rejects
any request that is more than 2gb?

I am not sure what the right terminology would be but this client
making POST request and sending large bytes in the transmission. I
guess it will be upload in that case.
