Upload in parts due to proxy

[Icenova20]

I'm proxying my connection to the server through Cloudflare. Cloudflare only supports uploading files over http/https up to 100MB per request.

Is the any way to upload files in parts, or in separate http requests, to circumvent this kind of limitation?

hfs doesn't split the upload in parts, but it supports resuming if the upload is interrupted.
does cloudflare interrupt your upload, or doesn't block it at the start?

in the front end UI it appears to upload to 100% and then upon reaching 100% an error message pops up saying "Couldn't upload : file too large"

the partial hfs$ file does not remain in the filesystem

can you see if in Admin-panel>monitoring you see the upload progressing?

[Icenova20]

It shows no progress on successful or failed uploads.

once the front end get to 100% on a successful upload the monitoring tab then shows that a file was uploaded, but does not display the upload progress.
on a failed upload the monitoring tab just shows a new connection but never shows any progress or that a file was uploaded.

to use cloudflare, are you running a specific software on your computer or on your LAN?

[Icenova20]

That is an option, but currently, i am not running any software on my computer. The proxying is being done through DNS. My hostname points to cloudflare's servers and then they proxy that traffic to my IP.

i was asking because since you don't see the progress, it must mean that it happens very quickly, like within 1 second.

Anyway, your idea of splitting the upload is technically possible, but not very easy and applies only to cloudflare. I don't expect to work on such a thing anytime soon.

I understand. Thank you for your consideration.
