client-control

Description

The client-control Plugin can be used to dynamically control the behavior of NGINX to handle a client request, by setting the max size of the request body.

IMPORTANT

This Plugin requires APISIX to run on APISIX-Runtime. See apisix-build-tools for more info.

Attributes

Name	Type	Required	Valid values	Description
max_body_size	integer	False	[0,…]	Set the maximum limit for the client request body and dynamically adjust the size of client_max_body_size, measured in bytes. If you set the `max_body_size` to 0, then the size of the client’s request body will not be checked.

Enable Plugin

The example below enables the Plugin on a specific Route:

note

You can fetch the admin_key from config.yaml and save to an environment variable with the following command:

admin_key=$(yq '.deployment.admin.admin_key[0].key' conf/config.yaml | sed 's/"//g')

curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
{
    "uri": "/index.html",
    "plugins": {
        "client-control": {
            "max_body_size" : 1
        }
    },
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
        }
    }
}'

Example usage

Now since you have configured the max_body_size to 1 above, you will get the following message when you make a request:

curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/index.html -d '123'

HTTP/1.1 413 Request Entity Too Large

<head><title>413 Request Entity Too Large</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>413 Request Entity Too Large</h1></center>
<hr><center>openresty</center>
</body>
</html>

Delete Plugin

To remove the client-control Plugin, you can delete the corresponding JSON configuration from the Plugin configuration. APISIX will automatically reload, and you do not have to restart for this to take effect.

curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1  \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
{
    "uri": "/index.html",
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
        }
    }
}'
