The other answers solve the IIS restriction. However, as of ASP.NET Core 2.0, Kestrel serveralso imposes its own default limits.
Github of KestrelServerLimits.cs
Announcement of request body size limit and solution (quoted below)
MVC Instructions
If you want to change the max request body size limit for a specific MVC action or controller, you can use the RequestSizeLimit
attribute. The following would allow MyAction
to accept request bodies up to 100,000,000 bytes.
[HttpPost]
[RequestSizeLimit(100_000_000)]
public IActionResult MyAction([FromBody] MyViewModel data)
{
[DisableRequestSizeLimit]
can be used to make request size unlimited. This effectively restores pre-2.0.0 behavior for just the attributed action or controller.
Generic Middleware Instructions
If the request is not being handled by an MVC action, the limit can still be modified on a per request basis using the IHttpMaxRequestBodySizeFeature
. For example:
app.Run(async context =>
{
context.Features.Get<IHttpMaxRequestBodySizeFeature>().MaxRequestBodySize = 100_000_000;
MaxRequestBodySize
is a nullable long. Setting it to null disables the limit like MVC's [DisableRequestSizeLimit]
.
You can only configure the limit on a request if the application hasn’t started reading yet; otherwise an exception is thrown. There’s an IsReadOnly
property that tells you if the MaxRequestBodySize
property is in read-only state, meaning it’s too late to configure the limit.
Global Config Instructions
If you want to modify the max request body size globally, this can be done by modifying a MaxRequestBodySize
property in the callback of either UseKestrel
or UseHttpSys
. MaxRequestBodySize
is a nullable long in both cases. For example:
.UseKestrel(options =>
{
options.Limits.MaxRequestBodySize = null;
or
.UseHttpSys(options =>
{
options.MaxRequestBodySize = 100_000_000;
You must configure two things:
In your Program.cs
public static IWebHost BuildWebhost(string[] args) =>
WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.UseKestrel(options => {
options.Limits.MaxRequestBodySize = null; // or a given limit
})
.Build();
In your Startup.cs in the ConfigureService method
services.Configure<FormOptions>(options => options.MultipartBodyLengthLimit = long.MaxValue); // or other given limit
Also change your controller endpoint to use [FromForm]
public IActionResult Upload([FromForm] IEnumerable<IFormFile> files)... // name must be same as name attribute of your multipart form
Now ASP.NET Core will do the work and inject the files from the form as sequence.
Edit:
I created an example that can be cloned from github:
git clone https://github.com/Birdperson90/example-fileupload-aspnet-core.git
cd example-fileupload-aspnet-core
dotnet restore
dotnet run --project src/file-upload-api/file-upload-api.csproj
Then navigate to http://localhost:5000/index.html and try uploading huge files.
413 error with Kubernetes and Nginx ingress controller
You can use the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size
to set the max-body-size option right in your Ingress object instead of changing a base ConfigMap.
Here is the example of usage:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-app
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: "50m"
