@ofahimIQSS could be helpful to know the accumulated size of the ten files you attach to the featured items or the size of each file. Many thanks!

Couldn't add a zip file here so just added all the images I used to test with:

I've gotten up to 20 items without failing. All of the png files are large - approaching the 1M limit. Way larger than what was failing for Omer

[g-saracca]

Hi @sekmiller , I was able to reproduce this with 2 featured items only, one image was 772kb and the other one 896kb. See screenshot below from HTTPie.

Did you try to call the get featured items endpoint after that and verify that you receive the featured items data like:

{
  "status": "OK",
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 5,
      "content": "Item 1",
      "imageFileName": "pic1.jpg",
      "imageFileUrl": "http://localhost:8080/api/access/dataverseFeaturedItemImage/5",
      "displayOrder": 0
    }
  ]
}

If you don't receive an imageFileName and imageFileUrl it is because the file was not uplodaded, check that the fileName matches the actual file name when calling the update endpoint.

[sekmiller]

22 files successful. And if I try the image url I get the file displaying correctly.

[sekmiller]

And these are the sizes of the files

[g-saracca]

I tried again with .png files and still failing, strange..
Could this be you having a different configuration from what it is on beta environment?
I say this because normally errors like 413 Request Entity Too Large are related to the server incoming requests size limit configuration.

[sekmiller]

Omer is now reporting that he can no longer replicate this error

[ekraffmiller]

Steve asked me to try this and I was able to replicate the error in my local environment. I added this screen shot to 10 items: (it's 329 K)

The error I got seems to be coming from nginx, not the Dataverse API:

[sekmiller]

This is an issue with a setting in the dockerized environment. Updating a config file ( client_max_body_size 20M; to our nginx.conf file) fixes it. Closing
