📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The application now enforces a 2 MiB HTTP request-body limit. FeedbackRequest limits user_question and user_feedback to 32,000 characters. Tests and the OpenAPI schema cover these limits.

Changes

Request limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
HTTP request-body enforcement
ols/constants.py, ols/app/main.py
ASGI middleware counts received HTTP request chunks and returns status 413 when the body exceeds 2 MiB. Non-HTTP scopes and requests within the limit continue normally.
Feedback field validation and schema
ols/app/models/models.py, tests/unit/app/models/test_models.py, docs/openapi.json
user_question and user_feedback accept up to 32,000 characters. Tests cover boundary and overflow cases. The OpenAPI schema includes the same limits.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 38277

Oversized requests may still reach handlers or be buffered and logged before rejection, weakening the intended request-size protection and creating avoidable resource and exposure risks. The PR is not merge-ready until rejection occurs before delegation and middleware ordering is corrected.

Use the supported middleware type.

FastAPI 0.115.6 documents that this decorator supports only "http" and uses @app.middleware("http") in its example. (raw.githubusercontent.com) The empty string relies on undocumented behavior. Replace it with "http".

Proposed fix
-@app.middleware("")
+@app.middleware("http")

In `@ols/app/main.py`:
- Around line 66-69: Replace the Content-Length-only check in the request
middleware with an ASGI receive wrapper that tracks cumulative http.request
chunk bytes and rejects bodies exceeding constants.MAX_REQUEST_BODY_SIZE,
including missing or understated Content-Length values. Install this enforcement
before log_requests_responses so buffered debug requests cannot bypass the
limit, while preserving the existing 413 response behavior.

In `@tests/unit/app/models/test_models.py`:
- Around line 395-397: Wrap the FeedbackRequest constructor call so its keyword
arguments are split across multiple lines and every line is no longer than 100
characters.

Inline comments:
In `@ols/app/main.py`:
- Line 105: Move the _RequestBodyLimitMiddleware registration to after all
`@app.middleware` declarations, including log_requests_responses, so the limiter
wraps the request before any body buffering or logging occurs. Add a test
covering debug logging with a request body larger than MAX_REQUEST_BODY_SIZE and
assert the limiter returns 413 without buffering the oversized body.
- Around line 89-99: Update _RequestBodyLimitMiddleware to validate
Content-Length before calling self.app, immediately returning 413 for declared
sizes above the limit; for missing or understated lengths, pre-read and count
the complete body, reject oversized payloads, and replay only bounded bodies
through limiting_receive. Ensure ignored, chunked, and understated request
bodies are covered, and annotate limiting_receive as returning Message rather
than dict.

Apply the same fix in `@ols/app/main.py` around lines 89 - 96.

Starlette 1.3.1 add_middleware user_middleware build_middleware_stack BaseHTTPMiddleware source

💡 Result:

In Starlette, the middleware stack is managed by the Starlette application class, which orchestrates middleware via the build_middleware_stack method [1][2][3]. Key components and mechanisms include: 1. User Middleware Storage: User-defined middleware is stored in the self.user_middleware attribute [1][2]. This list is populated either via the middleware parameter in the Starlette constructor or through the add_middleware method [1][4][2]. 2. build_middleware_stack Method: This method constructs the final ASGI application by wrapping the router in a series of middleware layers [1][2][3]. It follows a specific order: - Outer layer: ServerErrorMiddleware (to handle uncaught errors) [1][4][3]. - Middle layer: User-defined middleware (from self.user_middleware) [1][2][3]. - Inner layer: ExceptionMiddleware (to handle specific exceptions from routes/endpoints) [1][4][3]. The method iterates through this combined list in reverse order, wrapping the app (initially the router) with each middleware class [1][2][3]. 3. BaseHTTPMiddleware: This is an abstract class designed to simplify writing ASGI middleware by providing a request/response interface [5][6]. To use it, you implement the async def dispatch(self, request, call_next) method [5][6]. Internally, it manages the request flow, calls the next middleware (or the app) via the call_next function, and handles the response [7]. 4. add_middleware: This method is used to register middleware before the application starts [1][2]. It inserts the new middleware into the beginning of the self.user_middleware list [1][2]. It includes a safety check that raises a RuntimeError if the application's middleware stack has already been built [1][2][8]. As of Starlette 1.3.1, users are encouraged to use the middleware parameter in the constructor rather than the deprecated @app.middleware decorator [9].

ASGI typing Receive Message starlette.types Receive definition http.request

💡 Result:

In ASGI, receive is an awaitable callable that applications use to retrieve event messages from the server [1][2]. According to the ASGI specification, it is defined as a coroutine that yields a dictionary containing an event [1][3]. In Starlette, this is typed within starlette.types as follows [4]: Receive = Callable[[], Awaitable[Message]] Where Message is a dictionary (often typed as Dict[str, Any]) representing the ASGI event [4]. The http.request message is a specific type of event received by an ASGI application when an HTTP request is made [5][6]. Its structure is defined as follows: type: A Unicode string with the value "http.request" [5][6]. body: A byte string representing the body of the request (defaults to b"") [5][6]. more_body: A boolean that, if True, indicates that additional request body chunks will follow [5][6]. If False (or missing), the request is considered complete [5][6]. The receive callable is used by the application to stream these http.request messages, allowing for the handling of large request bodies in chunks [5][6].

Reject oversized request bodies before delegating to self.app.

limiting_receive counts bytes only when downstream calls receive. An endpoint that ignores its body can return 200 for an oversized request. The @app.middleware layers also wrap _RequestBodyLimitMiddleware, so debug logging can cache the full body before the limiter sees it.

Check Content-Length before self.app. For missing or understated values, pre-read and count the body, return 413 when the limit is exceeded, and replay only bounded bodies. Add tests for ignored, chunked, and understated request bodies. Type limiting_receive as Message, not bare dict.

validate Content-Length before calling self.app, immediately returning 413 for
declared sizes above the limit; for missing or understated lengths, pre-read and
count the complete body, reject oversized payloads, and replay only bounded
bodies through limiting_receive. Ensure ignored, chunked, and understated
request bodies are covered, and annotate limiting_receive as returning Message
rather than dict.

Apply the same fix in `@ols/app/main.py` around lines 89 - 96.

Register the limiter after all decorator middleware.

The later log_requests_responses middleware is outermost. It calls request.body() at Line 197 before this limiter can count chunks. Debug requests can therefore buffer and log an oversized body before the 413 response. Starlette inserts each newly registered middleware at the front of its stack. (github.com)

Move this registration after all @app.middleware declarations. Add a debug-logging test with a body above MAX_REQUEST_BODY_SIZE.

In `@ols/app/main.py` at line 105, Move the _RequestBodyLimitMiddleware
registration to after all `@app.middleware` declarations, including
log_requests_responses, so the limiter wraps the request before any body
buffering or logging occurs. Add a test covering debug logging with a request
body larger than MAX_REQUEST_BODY_SIZE and assert the limiter returns 413
without buffering the oversized body.
