Patch to detect truncated POST requests

  • Cc kpayne@… added
  • Component changed from Themes to Upload
  • Keywords has-patch dev-feedback added; needs-patch removed

This happens when php stops listening to the request after post_max_size is reached. When that happens, the mime request cannot be properly decoded, so no post variables come through (including the nonce).

18474.diff​ will detect the problem when a nonce fails and will give the proper error message, but there's nothing we can do about it from within WP.

Tested in 3.6 and get an appropriate error: test.zip exceeds the maximum upload size for this site. Maximum upload file size: 32MB.

Replying to avryl:

Tested in 3.6 and get an appropriate error: test.zip exceeds the maximum upload size for this site. Maximum upload file size: 32MB.

That sounds like a multisite setting, as opposed to post_max_size.
