Limiting request size
- Apache does not have any restriction on the total size of the http request that could lead to a DoS attack.
- You can limit the request size of an Apache directive “LimitRequestBody” with the directory tag.
- The value could be set anything from 0 to 2 GB (i.e. 2147483647 bytes) as per your requirement.
<Directory "/var/www/html/uploads">
LimitRequestBody 512000
</Directory>
