Profile is larger than maximum size (MAX_FILE_SIZE) - simbun - 11-11-2023 13:25
Hi Simon,
I've just upgraded my OS and because I'm running it on a Pi it's easier just to install to a new SD card. Everything is fine, but on trying to import my MinimServer profile I'm met with the error message 'Selected file 'custom.profile' is larger than maximum size (MAX_FILE_SIZE)'. My profile is 2134 bytes.
I've got around it by loading it partially (removing some of the lines from the profile) and pasting the remainder back, but it's a bit of a pain. Is there any reason for such a restriction?

When you import a profile file, this file is loaded into memory by JavaScript code running in your web browser and sent to MinimServer as text in a form POST request. A size limit is needed in case the user accidentally selects a file with a size of several megabytes, which is likely to cause the browser and/or MinimServer to crash.
The current size limit is 2000 bytes. My largest profile is 1634 bytes so I haven't seen this error myself. I agree that a limit of 2000 bytes is too low for users with complex profiles, so I will increase this limit to 5000 bytes in the next update and change the error message to say what the limit is.

I hadn't considered how it's being sent.
The current size of my profile is mainly down to a few lengthy displayFomats including the comment tag that's building multple URLs, but I can't imagine ever reaching anywhere near 5000!
Thanks as always for the excellent support.

MinimServer update 245 (released today) supports importing a profile file with a length of up to 5000 bytes.

You have been busy!
Works great.
