## Useful for

- Test whether an .htaccess rule rejects multipart/form-data POSTs while allowing URL-encoded POSTs.
- Configure Apache multipart POST filtering as a stopgap before patching PHP.
- Limit request body size to reduce OOM exploitation risk.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 00:10–01:38: 111 → 111 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +7 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 111 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #189.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 11
- Issues and pull requests: 3
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 23 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-21 … 2026-10-25: 62, 32, 6, 8, 0

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
