MaxRequestSize protocol option [MAXSIZE]

Specifies the size of the largest request the database server can accept.

Usage

HTTP, HTTPS

Values
Integer [ k | m | g ]
Default

100k

Remarks

The size of the largest request accepted by the server. The default value is in bytes, but you can use k, m, or g to specify units of kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, respectively. If the size of a request exceeds this limit, the connection is closed and a 413 ENTITY TOO LARGE response is returned to the client. This value limits only the size of the request, not that of the response. The value 0 disables this limit, but should be used with extreme caution. Without this limit, a rogue client could overload the server or cause it to run out of memory.
