File upload scenarios with '413 Request Entity Too Large' in Express 4.x
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm currently working on an Express.js application (version 4.17.1) where I allow users to upload files. However, whenever I attempt to upload files larger than 1MB, I'm working with a '413 Request Entity Too Large' behavior. I've tried adjusting the body-parser settings to accommodate larger files, but it doesn't seem to resolve the scenario. In my `app.js`, I have the following configuration: ```javascript const express = require('express'); const bodyParser = require('body-parser'); const app = express(); // This is where I set the limit, but it doesn't seem to help app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '10mb' })); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '10mb', extended: true })); app.post('/upload', (req, res) => { // Handle file upload console.log(req.body); res.send('File uploaded successfully!'); }); const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000; app.listen(PORT, () => { console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`); }); ``` I've also checked my Nginx configuration (which acts as a reverse proxy) and set the `client_max_body_size` directive in my `nginx.conf`: ```nginx http { client_max_body_size 10M; } ``` After updating Nginx, I restarted the service, but I'm still experiencing the same behavior. I ensure that my uploads aren't being intercepted by any other middleware before they hit the `/upload` route. Can anyone guide to troubleshoot this scenario? Is there something I'm missing in either my Express server or Nginx configuration? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
