Max HTTP POST request size for Amazon S3 Browser-based upload?

According to the documentation here, the 'file' field name on a HTML POST for a browser-based upload can be a file or text content. I'm interested in going the route of sending text, but would like to know exactly how much text I can send. I've read that the common server-based HTTP POST limit is 10M, but I'd like to know if there is any Amazon-specific documentation on the subject.

I guess my 1st question is really... Would the upload request size allowance be different for a text area submission than it is for a file submission (currently 5GB?) ?

If that answer is 'yes', then I would definitely want to know what the request size allowance would be for the text area submission.

The docs here (http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1434) say this:

Content length rule, which checks that the size of an uploaded file is between a given minimum and maximum value. If this rule is not included in a policy document, users will be able to upload files of any size up to the 5GB limit imposed by S3.

I dont know how up to date these docs are.
