PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

Hi,

I receive following exception on offline-directline console whenever my bot returns large data (like images).

How may I resolve this issue ?

Does that require changes in bridge.ts file in the lines,
router.use(bodyParser.json()); // for parsing application/json
router.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); // for parsing application/x-www-form-urlencoded

to,
router.use(bodyParser.json(limit: '1mb')); // for parsing application/json
router.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '1mb', extended: true })); // for parsing application/x-www-form-urlencoded

to support 1 mb of data-size ?

That's right! I'm using restify and bodyParser, which does have a lower default limit.

This bug in a peripheral package demonstrates the same solution:
