Runestone Issue: Jobe server responding with a 413 (file too big for files less than 2 MB

[barbarer]

I am in the F26-SI201-MW ebook trying to run activity 14.3.2.

I am updating my BeautifulSoup write code exercises in the pretext ebook to use saved HTML files dumped from the Wayback machine. However, I am getting a Server Error when I try to run the code. The JavaScript shows that the server is giving a 413 error which means the file is too big. Can we up the size limit for the Jobe server? The files I am trying to process are between 86 KB and 1.2 MB currently. Can we set the limit at 2 MB?

No way.... We do not have enough resources for 1000's of students to be uploading 2MB files. There must be a smaller example that is just as good you can use. Remember this is for small educational assignments not big projects.

I can't believe that the html alone is taking 2MB! What site are you trying to use?

You won't have 1000's of copies of it, right? If it is already on the JOBE server we don't need to upload it again. I am only reading the file, not modifying it. Dr. Barbara Ericson Associate Professor, School of Information University of Michigan
