Hi,

as i’m aware that there are not too many out there still using  
dispatch.fcgi && lighttpd (rather moving to mongrels && nginx ) , i’ll  
try to make this simple:

how do i limit a file upload size in lighttpd? am i supposed to do this  
via the app? i’ve racked the internet for a while now, and my mind is  
heavy and stumped.

i’m running dispatch.fcgi && lighttpd as the web-server.

any help or references would be greatly appreciated.  
thanks.
