That's what's _supposed_ to happen.  So far as the web-browser is
concerned MAX_FILE_SIZE is just another hidden form field to be
submitted in the form data.  HTML has no concept of limiting upload
size, so the only place this can be trapped is on the server.

However if it's implemented correctly on the server then the rejection
should be able to take place without actually accepting all the
(oversized) uploaded data.
