Support large MBOX file import #9222

Open simply-phil-1 opened 9 months ago

As I understand it, you're uploading an entire file in one go (hence the dependency on php ini max post size/file settings) - this is NOT the way to go

I have a 4GB mbox file from the google that I am wishing to upload. Changing global memory/post settings so that these can be imported is a NO GO - it should never happen, or even be contemplated.

Instead, the file should be uploaded in chunks - 1 or 2MB at a time - then reassembled once the upload is complete. No php.ini setting changes required. This has the added side-effect of allowing huge uploaded to be resumed, and also the mbox file can be parsed while being uploaded,

Well, it's doable, but not trivial. And hosts have various limits, hardware, software or policy.
