[tor-talk] .onion eat http 413 errors

[Chelsea Komlo]

Hi,

Do you mind confirming that you also have this issue when using the .onion
address to post small amounts of data (as opposed to the large post you
reference in your email)?

If there are any relevant logs from your webserver or the tor deamon that
is serving the onion service, please include those here. It would be
especially useful to know if the request actually is handled by the
webserver.

Thanks,
Chelsea
