File size limit

[wes-nz]

Hi,

I have the following error on the server side when I try to save a file.
My files are 300kb top.

Uncaught internal server error. { [Error: request entity too large]
  expected: 285569,
  length: 285569,
  limit: 102400,
  status: 413,
  statusCode: 413,
  message: 'request entity too large',
  type: 'entity.too.large' } Error: request entity too large

I believe it's a middleware issue, I have tried couple of things in my index.js like

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
api.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
api.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));
api.use(bodyParser.raw({limit: '50mb'}));

Unfortunately no success.

I did jump into the code and found a temporary fix in files.js L:83

router.post('/files/:filename',
            bodyParser.raw({type: '*/*', limit: '5mb'}),
            middlewares.handleParseHeaders,
            processCreate);

Any idea how to override this limit in a clean way?

Thanks

Can you submit a PR fixing this with a limit of 20mb?

Sure thing!
