Max REST body size (bytes) enforcement (413 if exceeded; 0 disables)

Feature

Max REST body size (bytes) enforcement (413 if exceeded; 0 disables)

Description

Body size enforcement for REST.

How it works

AegisWAF applies this capability inside the API Shield module. The engine evaluates configuration, applies matching (path/method/tokens/counters/providers), then records evidence into the event log and executes the configured enforcement action when conditions are met.

How to access / Enable or disable

  • Access: AegisWAF → API Shield
  • Enable/Disable: Use the module toggle/switch on this screen (or the relevant category toggle) to enable/disable.

Recommended setting

Set a limit that fits your API use (e.g., 256KB–1MB). Use 0 only if absolutely necessary.
