What Does HTTP 413 Status Code (Request Entity Too Large Error) Mean?
The HTTP 413 Status Code, also known as the "Request Entity Too Large Error," indicates that the server refuses to process a request because the request entity (such as the uploaded file or data payload) is larger than the server is willing or able to process. Encountering the HTTP 413 error often happens during file uploads, form submissions, or API requests when the data payload exceeds the server's specified limits. This limitation serves to prevent overwhelming the server with excessively large requests, maintaining optimal performance and resource allocation.
