Body Limit

Body limit middleware sets the maximum allowed size for a request body, if the size exceeds the configured limit, it sends "413 - Request Entity Too Large" response. The body limit is determined based on both Content-Length request header and actual content read, which makes it super secure.

Limit is specified as bytes

Usage​

e := echo.New()
e.Use(middleware.BodyLimit(2_097_152)) // 2MB

Custom Configuration​
