413

Payload Too Large

The server deems the request to be invalid because the payload of the request is larger than the limits defined by the server. Hence, it returns a 413 response and closes the connection. The client may repeat the request in the future.

Use Case

A user is trying to upload a photo to a server. Let's say the server has a limit of 5MB but the picture the user is trying to upload is 6MB, so the server rejects the upload request with a 413 code. The client may retry the request in the future, but the server doesn't guarantee accepting it.
