Summary
Increased the Nginx reverse proxy upload limit from
100Mto1G.Reason
Genotype VCF files larger than 100 MB were being rejected by
biproxywith a413 Request Entity Too Largeresponse before the request reachedbi-api.The backend supports VCF files up to 800 MB, so the proxy limit was increased to 1 GB to allow for multipart request overhead while keeping the backend as the actual file-size enforcement layer.
Validation
client intended to send too large bodyclient_max_body_size 100M;proxy/biproxy.dockerto:client_max_body_size 1G;
