isuue (stop downloading if file size is big)

[NobodyLR]

i am using formidable to uplaod a file
i am setting a max file size
what i would like is to stop the uplaod if the file that i am expecting is too big
i am using this code but i dont like it its ugly

form.on('progress', function(bytesReceived, bytesExpected) {
if(bytesExpected/1024/1024>100)//100Mo
req.connection.destroy();

i am not using on('file) or the form.parse cuz the callback is executed after the file is uploaded
and this is what i dont like

the code that i am using does the trick but it makes an errer on the client side(angularjs)
if there is a way to stop the uplaod and send a json to the client
ty

AFAIK Formidable doesn't provide a way to stop the uploading process so req.connection.destroy() seems to be the only way around it for now.

I'm currently using Node v6.0.0 and Formidable 1.0.17 and this is how I use it:

@marckris great example. I believe it can be implemented with same on('progress') handler internally. And also maybe would be good to emit/trigger some event when it happens.

@NobodyLR thanks for the report.

edit: marked as feature for future releases

Seems to be implemented as max file size option.
See maxFileSize option here: https://github.com/felixge/node-formidable#formidableincomingform

Other part is in another request: #471

@NobodyLR, So if there is no other case for this, its going to be closed soon.

Seems to be implemented as max file size option.

The point was to allow abort/cancel which is the #471.

I'm agree with closing, lets keep track on #471 and reference to it.
