Hello list. I'm trying to send a HTTP 413 to the user based on the hdr(Content-Length). What I've tried so far:
1. Create a http413 backend only with `errorfile 400` + `http-request deny_status 400`. In the frontend, configure a `use_backend http413 if <need-413>`. This is my current approach but it is wasting some time in the frontend for every single request of every single backend - we have about 1000 backends and only about 10% need to check Content Length - btw distinct content lengths. 2. Use the `errorfile 400` approach in the same backend that does the load balance. This doesn't sound good because I'm overwriting some internal response code and its payload. Btw, what if I need another 2, 3, 10 http response codes? 3. Use some creativity eg: errorfile 413 + deny_status 413; use_backend inside another backend; what more? The later doesn't make sense but the former is a pitty that isn't supported. Is there another way to deny a http request with a custom status and html content that I’m missing? Thanks! ~jm
