[Abandoned] Lighttpd(1.4.76) file upload: temp files are not in chunks of 1mb

I have upgraded the Lighttpd from 1.4.54 to 1.4.76. In 1.4.54 version when uploading the file, many 1mb temporary files can be seen. After upgrading to 1.4.76 there's only one temporary file, which size is the size of uploaded file.
Is there any way to get temporary files in chunks of 1mb rather than in a single temporary file?

Have you had a look at the server.upload-temp-file-size setting as documented in https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_ConfigurationOptions ?

Yes, I tried to set the variable to 1mb as below in configuration file but it did not work for me.
--------------

Set to 1MB
server.upload-temp-file-size = 1048576
--------------

Observed below in Lighttpd 1.4.60 changelog (Changes from 1.4.59)

Funny, works fine here on 1.4.76ish (version from git at around 1.4.76 release time):

lighttpd.conf has: server.upload-temp-file-size = 1048576

There are some optimizations which may affect how temp files are accumulated.

Please refer to How to get support

I am going to guess that you are feeding the input to a CGI, and that you are not streaming the request body, but you did not provide basic details about your lighttpd.conf and usage.

See server.feature-flags "cgi.tempfile-accum" => "enable"

lighttpd mod_webdav also special-cases temp files for PUT request body.

BTW, the latest lighttpd release is lighttpd 1.4.77. Please prefer to use the latest lighttpd release.
