Huge Request Body

If you try to create a request with a large body,

an error might occur due to a shell limitation of arg list size.

To avoid this error, you can use the @write-body-to-temporary-file meta tag in the request section.

This tells Kulala to write the request body to a temporary file and use the file as the request body.

note

For Content-Type: multipart/form-data this isn't not necessary, because Kulala enforces the use of temporary files for this content type.

huge-request-body.http

# @write-body-to-temporary-file
POST https://httpbin.org/post HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "address": "123 Main St, Springfield, IL 62701",
  "phone": "555-555-5555",
  "email": ""
}

In the example above, the request body is written to a temporary file.
