I recently encountered some odd behavior in nginx involving file upload sizes. Nginx has long had a client_max_body_size setting which controls how large of an HTTP POST or file upload the server will accept by comparing to the Content-Length header. Attempting to send a request larger than this results in a 413 Request Entity Too Large error from the server. But is this always the case?
