EXIF Data Causing Image Upload To Fail

    Howdy!

    This seems really, really odd to me but it appears as though images with deeply detailed EXIF data are rejected from the upload feature in Contact Form 7. I’ve tested this in several different ways, and the only successful image uploads have the bare minimum data attached. The error message we see in the UI is that the file is too big; upload limit is set to 128mb, images I’ve tested with are 2mb or less, so that struck me as a bit strange as well.

    The client and I have created a temporary workaround (i.e. eliminate the PhotoShop/Lightroom data on export), but this does have significant impact for our audience. We need folks to be able to use the upload feature without having to strip out EXIF.

    Thoughts? Ideas?
