Play 2.1.1 HTTP 413 trigger

Hello.

I noticed that if you cross the 100kb default by a few bytes you’ll get a “HTTP/1.1 413 Request Entity Too Large” however, when i cross it with 105947(maybe this value is just for me) bytes i get a “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” again - which is bad since then all my validation returns false(because body is null).

I am assuming this is a bug?

Reproduce code:

    public static Result test() {
      Form form = Form.form.bindFromRequest();
      ObjectNode result = Json.newObject();

      // Return w/e the user sent as json
      return ok(Json.toJson(form.get()));
    }

Maybe a clarification is in order. I don’t need a method to find out that body is too big. I want to be able to submit a form that has large body and process it on the server side - ideally without getting 413 screen of death.

There’s a config setting you can use:

# Netty maximum upload file size (in bytes)
play.module.netty.maxContentLength=8388608
