 Maxim ,
Thank you for your reply.
Here is an example:
If a user uploads 100MB file ,
what will be a consumption of memory, when the upload is complete?

Or does it mean that Apache will read a part of a file , store it in a
temporary file, then read another part and adds this part to the
temporary file and so on until the whole uploaded file is read?
Thank you for the reply.
