how do you post large files to lc server or php script?

[Matthias Rebbe]

Hi,

to be more clear:

LC is unresponsive after the beep. It seems the script is finished, but something is still running.

And the 2nd line of the script of course only conains  the url once. It seems my email client formatted it wrong.

Regards,
Matthias
