Post limit

[teaglin]

Hi,

I've been looking through the documentation to increase the post limit and I can't find anything. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Hi @teaglin,
what you need is: ServerOptions: https://ibm-swift.github.io/Kitura-NIO/Structs/ServerOptions.html for NIO-based or https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-net/blob/master/Sources/KituraNet/ServerOptions.swift (cannot find it in the API documentation indeed).

The idea is to create a struct that handle the limits for you:

let sizeResponse: (Int, String) -> (HTTPStatusCode, String)? = { (size, client) in
  Log.warning("Rejecting request from \(client): Size \(size) too big.")
  return (.requestTooLong, "{\"error\": \"Request too big\", \"code\": 413}")
}
let serverOptions = ServerOptions(
  requestSizeLimit: 1048576,  // 1024*1024 = 1MB
  requestSizeResponseGenerator: sizeResponse)
Kitura.addHTTPServer(onPort: 8080, with: router, options: serverOptions)

The sizeResponse closure is used to customize the log and the response code, but it is not mandatory.
The requestSizeLimit is whatever limit you want.
