Hi,
I experienced an issue when calculating uploaded document size, using this code snippet:

var contentError = false;
  var contentSize = 0;
  for each (field in formdata.fields) {
      if (field.isFile) {
          if (contentErrore == false) {
              filename = Decoder.decodeHTML //custom function to get filename
             contentSize = field.content.content.bytes.length;
              if (contentSize > 20971520)
                  contentError = true;
              else
                  content = field.content;
          }
      }
 }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The problem is that on Windows the contentSize variable contains the real size of the document, whereas on Linux (RH 5.3) this value is about contentSize divided by 1.7.
This is very strange and I couldn't find any explanation.
Any help appreciated.

Hello,

just for clarification: the difference is observed between a server running on Windows and a server running on Linux? Or is it between requests from different clients?

What is the transfer encoding being used in both cases? Also note, that you access the length of the stringified content using this type of access, which may be a problem for non-textual content (all binary format files, including Office / PDF formats). You should rather use

field.content.size‍

as this should not perform an implcit conversion.
