Request Body Handling Customizations

Request Body Size Limiter

By default, the max allowed Request Body size is 10 MB. If the client request body in a POST, PUT or PATCH are over 10 MB, the request will receive a response of 413 Request Payload is too large

You can change (or bypass) this limit in the ’listeners’ Config Section per-listener:

listeners:
  default:
    max_request_body_size_bytes: 5120 # request bodies must be <= 5kb or returns 413

listeners:
  default:
    max_request_body_size_bytes: 5120 # request bodies > 5kb truncated to 5kb
    truncate_request_body_too_large: true # truncate request bodies that are too large
