Subject: Add client_max_body_size to Nginx install configurations.
X-Git-Tag: 1.1.0~1417
X-Git-Url: https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git/commitdiff_plain/06f774bc61654ea0bb6ddd7b9f61bde1dd56b884

Add client_max_body_size to Nginx install configurations.

Nginx's default value for this setting is 1m, so adjusting it is all
but required to do useful work.  No issue #.
