Subject: Re: [mod-security-users] Request Body Limit

There's no one magic number for every installation. Why
don't you
configure a custom log to log the size of request bodies
(mod_logio
and %I), accumulate the information for a few days (as long
as you
can), and then extract your maximum request body size from
there.

several times but haven't found the magic number.  Does
anyone know a way in which I can determine the correct size
to set for my environment?  My setup is using Apache 2 .0
and mod_security2.  My Webserver is basically just a proxy
using Apache/Mod_Security and stunnel to get to an Internal
WebServer.  I have temporarily removed the mod_security
module in order to keep the site working.  Below are some of
the logs I have been seeing.
