Axios default maxBodyLength = 10MB, no way to override

[trevyn]

Looks like the switch to Axios has also limited upload parts to 10MB, since there's no way to access the underlying Axios object to set a larger maxBodyLength.

It looks like the issue was half-fixed with this PR, which is merged in axios@0.18.0. This allows us to specify a maxContentLength option to axios, and as long as it's large enough, everything is a-okay. In my tests, I just passed the file part size as the maxContentLength and that seemed to work.

However, it's only "half-fixed" because you need to explicitly pass maxContentLength to axios, otherwise it will allow the internal follow-redirects package to use the default 10MB. I found this issue which seems to identify the problem, but there hasn't been much activity on it lately.

Perhaps using the file part size as the maxContentLength is a reasonable workaround for now?

I can confirm that with axios@0.18.0 it works.

I currently worked this around with maxContentLength: Infinity, anyway:

• shouldn't axios fill maxContentLength with actual formData object size? (I'm uploading multipart files)
• shouldn't axios throw error instead of returning an empty/undefined response?

Since response is undefined an interceptor like the following goes in error while trying to access statusText on undefined!

    instance.interceptors.response.use(response => {
        console.log(response.statusText);
        return response;
    }, error => {
        console.error(error.response && error.response.statusText || error.response);
        return error;
    });

One way to configure maxBodyLength in axios
// Setting Global follow-redirects maxBodyLength
var followRedirects = require('follow-redirects');
followRedirects.maxBodyLength = 100 * 1024 * 1024; // 100 MB

#62 should fix this - allows access to the underlying axios object

#62 merged, fixed.

I can confirm here that for those of you using putFileContents having an issue here,

await client.putFileContents( globals.GLOBAL_NEXTCLOUD_FOLDER + fileName, file.buffer, {
            overwrite: false,
            maxContentLength: 1024 ** 3
        });
