Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point to inspect. First determine where project-file imports are handled and whether the project supports chunked uploads; done requires an agreed implementation that allows files above the Cloudflare limit and verifies the resulting import path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

backend enhancement frontend

Currently when one tries to import a project larger than 100 MB, an HTTP 413, Request Entity Too Large is returned, even though the nginx server is configured for a max_client_body_size of "250m".

This is because Cloudflare has a limit of 100 MB independent of site configuration. From the Cloudflare support page:

Cloudflare limits upload size (HTTP POST request size) per plan type:

  • 100MB Free and Pro
  • 200MB Business
  • 500MB Enterprise by default (contact Customer Support to request a limit increase)

If you require larger uploads, either:

  • chunk requests smaller than the upload thresholds, or
  • upload the full resource through a grey-clouded DNS record.
