Description

HTTP request's content length can be arbitrary long, currently. This should be changed: limit the length in 1 MByte. This should be done for chunked content, too.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the HTTP request parsing code in the repository and add a check for content length exceeding 1 MB, including for chunked transfer encoding.
