HTTP 413 Request Entity Too Large in Node JS Project in GAE - node.js

Question

I have my backend app deployed on GAE. Inside it, I am having an API which will upload a file to a GCS bucket.
Recently I tried uploading a file of more than 50mb size and got 413 Request entity too large
Did some research and found out that the issue is with ngnix. The API will give 413 for any file > 32Mb.
Found one solution where it was mentioned to include a ngnix.conf file and add client_max_body_size 80M in it.
I did so but still getting the same error.
This is my ngnix-app.conf file
server{
location / {
client_max_body_size 80m;
client_body_buffer_size 512k;
}
}
Anything obvious that I am missing out here?

Answer 1

You can change your request buffer size in your Node.Js application using
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));
Also you can increase your request in nginx configuration
server{
location / {
client_max_body_size xxm;
client_body_buffer_size xxm;
}
}

Answer 2

Just Modify NGINX Configuration File
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Search for this variable: client_max_body_size. If you find it, then just increase the value to 100M. If you can't find this then just add
this line inside HTTP.
client_max_body_size 100M;
To apply changes just restart ngnix
sudo service nginx restart
