Is there a way to throttle only file uploads (not downloads) using Apache 2 on a per-directory basis?
I've tried using mod_bw and looked at mod_throttle, but neither seem to support upload throttling, only downloads.
Tell me more

It's quite difficult to throttle uploads, since you are not at the source of the sending. The only thing you can do is to temper TCP ACKs (by delaying them). I don't know a reliable way to do it at the application level, except of not reading the socket anymore. A quite general way would be to do it at the OS level. A solution at apache's level would be something like bwshare. If you want to avoid DOS, you can just send 503 as quoted in media wiki's Request Throttling page. |
