Middleware error

PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large at readStream

The transferred entity is 42Mb, so how could I increase amount of transferred data via lws config?

@75lb option for increasing size will be great!

P.S. It will be good to have an exclude flag for stack middleware also.

Try omitting lws-body-parser from the stack…

if you run this command you’ll see the default middleware stack (the list of middleware plugins that are active by default):

$ ws --default-stack
[
  'lws-basic-auth',
  'lws-body-parser',
  'lws-request-monitor',
  'lws-log',
  'lws-cors',
  'lws-json',
  'lws-compress',
  'lws-rewrite',
  'lws-blacklist',
  'lws-conditional-get',
  'lws-mime',
  'lws-range',
  'lws-spa',
  'lws-static',
  'lws-index'
]

To omit lws-body-parser (which i suspect is causing the issue) from the middleware stack, run this command (i skipped the lws- prefix from each plugin name - it is optional):

$ ws --stack basic-auth request-monitor log cors json compress rewrite blacklist conditional-get mime range spa static index

Let me know if that fixes the issue.
