    By default, Flask will accept uploads to an arbitrary size. While Werkzeug
    switches uploads from memory to a temporary file when they hit 500 KiB,
    it's still possible for someone to overload your disk space with a
    gigantic file.

    This patches the app's request class's
    `~werkzeug.BaseRequest.max_content_length` attribute so that any upload
    larger than the given size is rejected with an HTTP error.

       In Flask 0.6, you can do this by setting the `MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH`
       setting, without patching the request class. To emulate this behavior,
       you can pass `None` as the size (you must pass it explicitly). That is
       the best way to call this function, as it won't break the Flask 0.6
       functionality if it exists.
