Plug.Parsers.RequestTooLargeError when uploading large files

Hi! length is in the wrong location. Here is what works for me:

plug Plug.Parsers,
    parsers: [:urlencoded, {:multipart, validate_utf8: false}, :json],
    pass: ["*/*"],
    json_decoder: Poison,
    length: 25_000_000

For something smallish it does make sense to update the limits, but for larger uploads (imo start at ~30-50 MB) I’d suggest using streamed (e.g. LV uploads) or chunked uploads (e.g. tus protocol).

Or just upload directly to the storage system.

Even with a dedicated storage system there’s benefit in chunked uploads though – especially around the ability to reupload on failures.

same thing. still throws error.

also in hexdocs Plug.Parser it says:

However, the above will increase the maximum length of all request types. If you want to increase the limit only for multipart requests (which is typically the ones used for file uploads), you can do:

plug Plug.Parsers,
     parsers: [
       :url_encoded,
       {:multipart, length: 20_000_000} # Increase to 20MB max upload
     ]

What’s tus protocl? can you guide me with that part please?

And Tus – tus v0.1.3 !

It do not seem to be maintained. The GH repo 404 for me.

I guess I’ll try the LV chunked uploads, currently stuck at the part where using external upload (s3) basing on the docs. Right now a simple form action does fine (ex_aws, ex_aws_s3).
