Description
I am working on SAP XSA Multi Target Application and using nodeJS application for services.
While posting large files I am getting error "PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large". After reading multiple blogs(including https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser), I got to know that the request body size is set to '100kb'. To fix this, I have increased the limit by adding code:
app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ limit: '5mb', parameterLimit: 100000, extended: true }));
After adding this, I am getting other error: "Error: error while parsing protocol: invalid communication buffer structure". Tried solution as per https://github.com/SAP/node-hdb/issues/19, still getting same issue.
Kindly suggest fix of this issue.

Research direction
Start with the app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ limit: '5mb', parameterLimit: 100000, extended: true })) entry point and compare the reported behavior with SAP/node-hdb issue 19. Reproduce the large-file request and determine why the increased body-parser limit leads to an invalid communication buffer structure; done means a documented, working configuration or a confirmed client limitation.
