WIP: Server-side page max checking

[lol768]

Problems:

• Redirects transparently followed by browser, go(xhr.getResponseHeader('Location')); doesn't work because Play returns a redirect.

Why is this done with AJAX anyway?

Looks like it's done with AJAX because of the javascript logic before the request

Can you think of any reason why I can't implement this in the controller?

[simon816]

You probably could do it in the controller and just have a form instead

@lol768 Any update on this?

Unlikely to have time to finish this on top of my security consulting work, sorry.

If anyone wants to pick this up, I suggest you remove the unnecessary AJAX and do this with a POST properly. You can probably reuse the code I have in the controller, it'll be a case of making the frontend stuff form-based.
