I have a system where
- Server receives large files from clients
- Files are unused and deleted immediately
- Clients cannot be updated to stop sending files
- There are a known number of clients (required number of threads is constant)
- The server must be Windows/IIS VMs
How do I minimize this system's footprint? My only ideas occur after the request has been parsed and loaded by IIS, but I would ideally like a solution that does not read the large file (blocking the networking card). Is there a way to block requests in Windows or IIS while still returning 200s?
