In which context is this needed?

You can import follow-redirects to your service implementation and then set maxBodyLength.

const cds = require("@sap/cds");
const followRedirects = require("follow-redirects");

const ExampleService = cds.service.impl(async function () {
const srv = await cds.connect.to("serviceName");
followRedirects.maxBodyLength = 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024; //1 GB
...
})

Hi matveyma ,

Your solution worked for increasing the maxBodyLength for CAP service calls. But I am curious to know how the 'follow-redirects' plugin is increasing the maxBodyLength. How SAP CAP and follow-redirects are connected to each other?

Instead of using the follow-redirects plugin can we increase the maxBodyLength directly in the CAP application?

Kind Regards,
