Description of problem: If an XML-RPC caller (harness implementation or some other entity) makes a call with very large parameters, beaker-proxy will still receive the entire HTTP request body and attempt to parse the XML and unmarshal the XML-RPC request. This may succeed eventually but will use large amounts of memory (several times the size of the original request). beaker-proxy should enforce a sane size limit on incoming request bodies to prevent this problem. 50MB should be enough. Log file uploads are supposed to be chunked so that shouldn't be a problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.14 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send a very large XML-RPC call to beaker-proxy, for example: >>> import xmlrpclib >>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://schlenk:8000/RPC2') >>> s.task_upload_file('123', 'debug', '.task_beah_raw', 4096, '', 1024, ['LCB7fSwgbnVsbCwgeyJ0YXNrX2lkIjogIjNkNjYwYjk5LWRjMjAtNDE5ZC05MDA2LTUyNDIxYTBl'] * (1024*1024*10)) Actual results: Watch beaker-proxy choke and die. Expected results: beaker-proxy refuses the request (including, refusing to read the entire body) with status 413.
On Gerrit: http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/3163 Limits request bodies in beaker-proxy to 10MB.
