WAF Request Body Size Limit

Questions regarding WAF Request Body Size Limit between version 56.2 and .57 of the LoadMaster

Product:LoadMaster

Version:56.2

Platform: Any

Application:Any

In 56.2 the "Request Body Size Limit" under any Virtual Service > WAF > Advanced properties > "Inspected HTTP POST Request Bodies".  In there the limit of max 10MB was configurable.

In .57 this was changed to allow up to 50MB.  It also now shows a proper error message.

In 56.2 post a file using cURL with a file bigger then the configured "Request Body Size Limit"
curl -d @lorem.txt http://X.X.X.X
The file will be blocked but with the proper message in the log file

In .57 post a file using cURL with a file bigger then the configured "Request Body Size Limit"
curl -d @lorem.txt http://X.X.X.X
The file will be blocked but with the proper message in the log file
