Description
I have this running behind Nginx, and initially got 413 error codes because the default request body size limit is too small. Obviously this isn't rest-server's fault, but it would be helpful for the docs to mention what this limit should be; is it the largest file that could be transferred, or a particular size that clients don't go above? Setting unlimited does not seem like a sensible workaround.

Research direction
Start at README.md around line 171 and review the REST backend request behavior relevant to upload sizes. Determine whether clients impose a maximum body size or whether the limit depends on the largest supported file, then document the recommended Nginx setting and what completion looks like in the README.
