Symptoms

An attempt to push to a Fisheye/Crucible managed repository results in the following error:

HTTP Status Code 413 (413 Request Entity Too Large)

For example:

$ git push origin master
 Username: 
 Password: 
 Counting objects: 4372, done.
 Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
 Compressing objects: 100% (4274/4274), done.
 error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 413
 Writing objects: 100% (4372/4372), 89.62 MiB | 19.17 MiB/s, done.
 Total 4372 (delta 2630), reused 0 (delta 0)
 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Cause

The default file post size has been exceeded.

Resolution

Configure Fisheye/Crucible, from version 3.0 on, with the following System Property so its own WebServer (Jetty) will accept a large changeset. For example, the command below will allow requests up to 300MB in size:

(via the FISHEYE_OPTS environment variable)

-Dorg.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormContentSize=300000000
