request.too_large

The request exceeds a size limit

Type https://mthds.ai/errors/request.too_large
Family request: The HTTP request itself, before any run.
Domain input: the caller acts, by changing the request or its inputs
Retry no: repeating the operation fails the same way
HTTP status 413
Raised as a problem document, sent as the body of an HTTP response or kept in a run's record

What it means

The body, or a file in it, is larger than a size bound of the route. Each implementation sets its own bounds.

What to do

Make the request fit under params.limit. A method's large files can travel by hash to a runner whose GET /version declares blob_store: true, which keeps them out of the body.

Next steps

A problem carries the step aimed at whoever reads it: the first when its reader is the domain's actor, the caller, and the second for any other reader.

Reader Kind Detail
The domain's actor change_input Make the request smaller than {limit} bytes, then send it again.
Any other reader change_input Pass this to the caller, who must make the request smaller than {limit} bytes.

Detail

The problem's detail is written from this template, filled with the occurrence's parameters:

The request reaches {size} bytes, past the runner's limit of {limit} bytes.

Parameters

Every parameter is present on every occurrence of the code.

Name Type Description
limit bytes The bound the request passes.
size bytes The size the request, or the file in it, reached.
