Solution 1:

You have got to read all request data in any case. Otherwise HTTP client (browser) just don't get it.

In first case when file is too big, you can just read and ignore data.

Here is updated StoreHandler:

class StoreHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_POST(self):
        length = int(self.headers['content-length'])
        print length
        if length > 10000000:
            print"file to big"read = 0whileread < length:
                read += len(self.rfile.read(min(66556, length - read)))
            self.respond("file to big")
            returnelse:
            form = cgi.FieldStorage(
                fp=self.rfile,
                headers=self.headers,
                environ={'REQUEST_METHOD':'POST',
                         'CONTENT_TYPE':self.headers['Content-Type'],
                         })
            filename = form['file'].filename
            data = form['file'].file.read()
            open("/tmp/%s"%filename, "wb").write(data)
            printself.headers['content-length']
            self.respond("uploaded %s, thanks")
