Efficient large file upload with Yesod

Question

I want to implement large file upload with my Yesod application. Right now I have:

module Handler.File where

import Import

import System.Random
import System.F

1. Your solution is correct. The purpose of the maximumContentLength setting is to allow you to override this value for specific routes that need larger uploads.

2. This is a shortcoming of the current setup of file handling in yesod-core. It's currently hard-coded to use in-memory file uploads. We've discussed on the mailing list in the past that this is suboptimal. I've just created a Github issue for this, and the fix will be included in Yesod 1.1 (no timetable on release though).

3. I don't have an example of this, sorry.
