body_too_large

Docs version v1 (main) · Nauthera is pre-1.0, in a design-partner program

The request body is larger than the server reads (413).

#Meaning

Written before the handler runs: the body exceeds server.http.max_body_bytes (default 262144 bytes, 256 KiB) or the operation's own bound.

#Impact

The request did nothing. Legitimate requests are far smaller; a large body is a client bug or an attempt to exhaust memory.

#Diagnosis

The refusal is recorded as http.request.screened with reason invalid_request and cause body_too_large. Compare the client's Content-Length with the configured bound.

#Mitigation

• As a client developer: send a smaller body; do not retry the same one.
• As an operator: raise server.http.max_body_bytes only for a known, legitimate need.

#Escalation

Escalate when a body well under the bound is refused. Open an issue with the request id, the body size and the server version.
