Can't change big files due to Happstack's BodyPolicy #638

Closed fkohrt closed 4 years ago

fkohrt commented 4 years ago

Saving a change for a file with a size of 81.5 KB leads to the following error message: x-www-form-urlencoded content longer than BodyPolicy.maxRAM=100000 bytes.

I am using a fresh experimental docker version (repo) of gitit by t13a.

Any ideas what I could do? Changing the max-page-size inside the gitit.conf does not help.

I've never heard of this (and never ran into it myself). If you track down what's going in in Happstack, maybe we can fix it, but I don't have bandwidth to look into it myself now.

@fkohrt I realize this was a long time ago, but just in case you're still dealing with it or someone else that is happens across this issue, I recently encountered a similar one and might have a way to address it.

After changing my gitit.conf to set max-upload-size to 0K and trying to log in, I was informed that it had failed due tox-www-form-urlencoded content longer than BodyPolicy.maxRAM=0 bytes. Thankfully, that was the only relevant change that I'd made recently to the configuration, so it was easy to track down.

Accordingly, it might be worthwhile to try messing with max-upload-size to see if it gets you past the issue. It's counterintuitive because I would think of an "upload" to mean a file, but I guess that technically a change to a page (or in my case, sending my credentials) could be considered an upload if you stare at it from the right angle, so it kinda makes sense that that option might apply in addition to max-page-size.

@adamdaugherty Shame on me that I didn't try max-upload-size. Yes indeed, that helped; thank you kindly!
