Possible to validate file size prior to sending?
I have a form with a FileUploadField, where the maximum file size is fairly
large (100-200MB).
I set the maximum size using the form's: setMaxSize(Bytes.megabytes(200));
This works fine, as the form only gets processed when the file is under that
size. However, if the file is over that size, the user is not notified
until the upload completes, or at least gets beyond the limit. So if
someone were to upload a 300 MB file, they won't find out that the file is
too large until after they exceed 200 MB sent, which can be a long time.
Can anything be done to validate the file size prior to exceeding the
maximum file size? I think that if the file size is exceeded, the form
never gets processed at all, so server side it seems like it would be out,
but if I could add a client side validation in addition to the server side
validation, that would be great.
Has anyone else run into this?

Hi
I can see your problem, but AFAIK it's not possible to that kind of check
using javascript (perhaps in IE, some versions). Perhaps use a client side
solution instead, like java applet or flash?
