> So, for Nginx/Apache, are you suggesting Arc might be able to handle uploads if it's sitting behind Nginx/Apache acting as reverse proxy doing buffering?
Nope, that won't help.

That's the easiest approach. Not that you'd need PHP, just pop in a module to handle file uploads for you.

Not Arc as such but the implementation in srv.arc isn't designed for large files. You could read the old MZScheme documentation at http://docs.racket-lang.org/mzscheme/index.html and figure out how to read an input stream into a binary buffer, but it would be more work.
Thanks a lot for helping clear that up. Those limitations of Arc are definitely not immediately obvious from reading the docs and essays available on the language.
