How can I check the size of an uploaded file to ktor? Checked the documentation and searched here but surprised I couldn’t find something

My use case was to prevent users from uploading too large files. I realized I can do this with nginx.

[CLOVIS]

I'm interested in the same thing.

You can get the number of bytes from the Content-Length header (if it's available) before receiving the body.

That's a good first step, however the client could lie about it.

If the client lies, will Ktor trust the value?

What do you mean by trusting the value?
