The HTTP POST and PUT methods allow users to send data
to the Domino® server. The
Server record field Maximum size of request content sets
a limit on the amount of data that can be sent using either POST or
PUT. This limit is enforced for all POST and PUT methods, whether
the target is a database, CGI program, or Java™ servlet, and applies to all Web sites.
About this task
The Web Site document contains two additional settings
that control POST and PUT methods that target a database (for example,
filling in a form or uploading a file attachment). These settings
reside in the Web Site document so that you can specify different
values for each Web site.
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator,
click the Configuration tab, expand the Web section
and click Internet Sites.
- Choose the Web Site document you want to edit and click Edit
Document.
- Click the Domino Web Engine tab
and complete these fields:
Table 1. POST Data fields
| Field |
Action |
| Maximum POST data |
Enter the amount of data in KB that a user
is allowed to send to the Web site in a POST request that targets
a database. The default is 0, which does not restrict the amount of
data that users can send (however, the amount is still limited by
the Server record setting Maximum request content).
This limit applies to both the PUT and the POST HTTP methods. If
users try to send more than the maximum allowed data, Domino returns an error message to the browser. |
| File compression on upload |
Choose one:
- Enabled -- To compress files before adding them to a database.
Compressing files saves disk space on the server.
- Disabled (default) -- If clients use a browser that supports byte-range
serving. You cannot download compressed files using Domino byte-range serving.
