I have an Nginx reverse proxy that forwards to a Node.js Express server. Everything works fine unless the JSON payload is over 100K. The node function receives an empty body. I've tried setting the Nginx client_max_body_size to 10M, even though the default is 1M. No errors in the Nginx logs or error logs.
The Nginx Conf file:
user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;
events {
worker_connections 1500;
# multi_accept on;
}
worker_rlimit_nofile 3000;

proxy_redirect off;

}
And I'm doing a very simple POST with node-fetch a very simple fetch call. When the body is less than 100K all good, when over the data isn't passed by the reverse proxy:
const options = {
method: "POST",
mode: "cors",
headers: { Accept: "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify(body),
};
fetch(`https://site`, options);
