Exporting: 413 Request Entity Too Large

[KacperMadej]

When trying to export big map with large amount of data (world-palestine-highres with population data in mapbubble series) exporting returns 413 Request Entity Too Large.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/5mzd6dh2/

Workaround: use custom exporting server with increased size limit in nginx.conf

Workaround

In modern browsers, you can use the offline-exporting.js module: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/5mzd6dh2/1/

Hi @KacperMadej , we're moved to nginx that's right! I didn't think of this setting this option.

thx for pointing out.

Hi guys, I have a large highstock with a large dataset. I tried both your server and offline-exporting but they don't seem to work. I know that there's the option of setting up an export server but not for me. Is there anyway that I can increase the size limit for the client-side exporting?

Thanks

To work around the issues, you may also try using data grouping or the boost module.

Thanks but they are of no use for the exporting part. I am processing 8GB of data and I'm already grouping so many chunks of data into one, still it is so big to export. And I want atleast a 300dpi print image, which means something like a 3300px * 5100px image. It is something like the picture below. It just lacks the resolution.

@raeenh2002
I would then recommend to use our PhantomJS script from the command line. Read more about this here: http://www.highcharts.com/docs/export-module/render-charts-serverside
It has never been tested against 8GB, though

Request entity has been increased on the server (Dec 29th 2015), closing issue now

@gvaartjes what is the new limit? I still sometimes get this issue. That said though, we havent had opportunity to upgrade to newest Highcharts yet.

@nebulousdog This is an old thread dealing with our old exporting server running Java. We moved over to a NodeJS/NGinx server. The setting you're talking about is something we have to set on our servers running the exporting service to prevent misuse. It has nothing to do with running an older Highcharts version.
@cvasseng Can you tell Tommy what's the current limit is?

[cvasseng]

The limit is 2MB on the node server.

thanks!

Is the any example now to export a map from node.js app as pdf. I can't find it.
I think you should give more examples in README file of https://github.com/highcharts/node-export-server.
