Plug v1.7.2 Plug.Parsers.MULTIPART View Source

Parses multipart request body.

Options

All options supported by Plug.Conn.read_body/2 are also supported here. They are repeated here for convenience:

  • :length - sets the maximum number of bytes to read from the request, defaults to 8_000_000 bytes
  • :read_length - sets the amount of bytes to read at one time from the underlying socket to fill the chunk, defaults to 1_000_000 bytes
  • :read_timeout - sets the timeout for each socket read, defaults to 15_000ms

So by default, Plug.Parsers will read 1_000_000 bytes at a time from the socket with an overall limit of 8_000_000 bytes.

Besides the options supported by Plug.Conn.read_body/2, the multipart parser also checks for :headers option that contains the same :length, :read_length and :read_timeout options which are used explicitly for parsing multipart headers.

Link to this function parse(conn, arg2, subtype, headers, opts) View Source

Attempts to parse the connection’s request body given the content-type type, subtype, and its parameters.

The arguments are:

  • the Plug.Conn connection
  • type, the content-type type (e.g., "x-sample" for the "x-sample/json" content-type)
  • subtype, the content-type subtype (e.g., "json" for the "x-sample/json" content-type)
  • params, the content-type parameters (e.g., %{"foo" => "bar"} for the "text/plain; foo=bar" content-type)

This function should return:

  • {:ok, body_params, conn} if the parser is able to handle the given content-type; body_params should be a map
  • {:next, conn} if the next parser should be invoked
  • {:error, :too_large, conn} if the request goes over the given limit
