As emphasized in the title I need to transfer big files (for instance 20-30 mb video file data) from a blackberry to a server.
I read somewhere that HTTP POST request has a limit.
Has someone tried to do this?
I saw an interesting idea here but I don't know if it is applicable in bb:
Also if you managed to transfer bigger files using some other way please let me know, although I would strognly prefer http post if possible.

Hi dx22,
Try using UDP connection.

I would do two things:
a) Make sure you are only doing this over WiFi
b) I would send chunks to a Server process that could put the chunks back together.
If you do this over WiFi you will not hit any limits, however WiFi is not 100% reliable and I don't think you want to restart the send if it fails on the last byte.

You got it....
Just one thing - "If i send the file in pieces up to 1mb" - I would actually make the chunk smaller than that, but it is up to you.
