My team has been getting 413 errors whenever we try and upload large files to our Django back-end: 413 Payload too large
We can't exactly pin down the maximum acceptable file size - it seems to vacillate in the 1-3MB range.
Things we have excluded:
It's not a webserver configuration issue, because we're running the
Django server locally (without a webserver)
We believe it's not an app server configuration issue, because this happens on multiple app servers (./manage.py runserver and
daphne -p 8000 topknott.asgi:application)
It's not an issue with the field on the Django model, which looks
normal: photo = models.ImageField(blank=True)
Can anyone spot what we're missing?
Django has a build in mechanism to prevent any suspicious activity.
In your settings.py file set the variable
DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE = 10*1024*1024 # your size limit in bytes
See documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE
