server side error

 PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

    (C:\Users\blain\Desktop\KulaaBackend\node_modules\raw-body\index.js:246:12)

server side code

app.post('/Phototest', (request, response) =>{
  console.log('request tried');
  console.log(request);

}) 

post byte code

    public async void Postbase(byte[] base64strings) {

            /*
            base64s s = new base64s()
            {
                base64string = base64strings

            };
            string stringpayload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(s);
            await apiRequestHelper.RequestSaveProfilephotoAsync(stringpayload);
            */
            await myAPI.PostProfilePhoto(base64strings);

        }

here is the refit post i also stopped url encoding it because that might make it too large i think. so i am just sending it as a byte and nothing else. in the future i may need to send an email or token with it though.

 [Post("/Phototest")]
        Task<string> PostProfilePhoto(Byte[] data);

if you know of a better format to send it in that is shorter that would be awesome because i will have to pay for how much data i send to servers in future.

Answer 1

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit:'5000mb'})); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit:'5000mb',extended: true})); solved my problem
