Answer by user1709076 for Error: request entity too large

2016, none of the above worked for me until i explicity set the 'type' in addition to the 'limit' for bodyparser, example:

  var app = express();
  var jsonParser       = bodyParser.json({limit:1024*1024*20, type:'application/json'});
  var urlencodedParser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended:true,limit:1024*1024*20,type:'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' })

  app.use(jsonParser);
  app.use(urlencodedParser);
