New Mass-Upload feature causes Payload issues.

[SCOPEDDXYZ]

With the addition of the new mass-uploading of images, it seems that it combines the file sizes, and causes a "Payload too large." issue. I'm mainly assuming here, but I feel this could be fixed by staggering the uploads, rather than doing all the uploads at once. I feel this wouldn't hinder user experience either, as it'd be literal seconds for most people. In the future, if videos were to be added, I feel they may need broken up into small chunks to be uploaded or this will continue to be an issue. I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like when I upload anymore than 3 images.

Yeah this issue is kinda difficult to deal with. We can theoretically just keep trying until we no longer get "Payload Too Large", but this issue only affects Drop instances behind reverse proxies, and can be solved with changing the proxy's configuration.

[SCOPEDDXYZ]

Odd, I have it reverse proxied, but I use the direct IP to manage it. Weird I still get the issue.

Ohhh, it's on our end then.

@Huskydog9988 I think this is due to the nuxt-security module then. Do you think it's better to disable the upload limit or break up the upload requests?

[SCOPEDDXYZ]

I think best bet is to honestly break up the upload requests. Break them down into like maybe 5-10mb segments that way users with unstable connection can have slightly better stability.

[Huskydog9988]

Probably both is a good idea. Maybe using https://uppy.io/ or the FileReader class might help us with the chunking stuff? I haven't done much large uploads on the browser so I'm not quite sure tbh.

[DecDuck]

We're using multipart forms which does the chunking for us, it's just blocking it because it's all part of the same request. To get around this we'd need to send separate requests for it.

[Huskydog9988]

Yes, i was under the impression tus, a file upload spec that uppy.io uses, was multiple requests, but it seems to all just be one...
