# Buffering
|
|
|
|
How to Read the Request before Forwarding It
|
|
{: .subtitle }
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Buffering middleware gives you control on how you want to read the requests before sending them to services.
|
|
|
|
With Buffering, Traefik reads the entire request into memory (possibly buffering large requests into disk), and rejects requests that are over a specified limit.
|
|
|
|
This can help services deal with large data (multipart/form-data for example), and can minimize time spent sending data to a service.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Examples
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
# Sets the maximum request body to 2Mb
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.limit.buffering.maxRequestBodyBytes=250000"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
# Sets the maximum request body to 2Mb
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: Middleware
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: limit
|
|
spec:
|
|
buffering:
|
|
maxRequestBodyBytes: 250000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File"
|
|
# Sets the maximum request body to 2Mb
|
|
[http.middlewares]
|
|
[http.middlewares.limit.buffering]
|
|
maxRequestBodyBytes = 250000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
### `maxRequestBodyBytes`
|
|
|
|
With the `maxRequestBodyBytes` option, you can configure the maximum allowed body size for the request (in Bytes).
|
|
|
|
If the request exceeds the allowed size, the request is not forwarded to the service and the client gets a `413 (Request Entity Too Large) response.
|
|
|
|
### `memRequestBodyBytes`
|
|
|
|
You can configure a thresold (in Bytes) from which the request will be buffered on disk instead of in memory with the `memRequestBodyBytes` option.
|
|
|
|
### `maxResponseBodyBytes`
|
|
|
|
With the `maxReesponseBodyBytes` option, you can configure the maximum allowed response size from the service (in Bytes).
|
|
|
|
If the response exceeds the allowed size, it is not forwarded to the client. The client gets a `413 (Request Entity Too Large) response` instead.
|
|
|
|
### `memResponseBodyBytes`
|
|
|
|
You can configure a thresold (in Bytes) from which the response will be buffered on disk instead of in memory with the `memResponseBodyBytes` option.
|
|
|
|
### `retryExpression`
|
|
|
|
You can have the Buffering middleware replay the request with the help of the `retryExpression` option.
|
|
|
|
!!! example "Retries once in case of a network error"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
retryExpression = "IsNetworkError() && Attempts() < 2"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Available functions for the retry expression are:
|
|
|
|
- `Attempts()` number of attempts (the first one counts)
|
|
- `ResponseCode()` response code of the service
|
|
- `IsNetworkError()` - if the response code is related to networking error
