 <p>In my case, after setting the limit @ <strong>node.js</strong> (webapp) <code> var express = require('express'); var app = express(); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); app.use(bodyParser.json({limit:'50mb'})); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true, limit:'50mb'})); </code></p> <p>I also <strong>(most important)</strong> had to set up the limit @ <strong>nginx</strong> (webapp reverse proxy) <code> # Max upload size. client_max_body_size 50M; </code></p>
