Description
Is there a way to read the value of client_max_body_size from an app? That would eventually let me warn users that their upload would fail before submitting, like so:
- server app reads the value from nginx
- server app writes the value to a client-side js method that handles uploads
- user tries to upload a file > client_max_body_size
- js reads saved value, compares against file size, stops the upload and warns
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I don't think trying to implement an interface to expose the value of
client_max_body_sizefor a particular URI worth the effort. Especially given that there is already an interface to report that maximum body size is reached, and nginx uses it - error 413. Unfortunately, browsers fail to handle it properly.If you want to warn users from javascript, consider writing appropriate limit in the javascript code or its configuration.
