Where 100 KB matters
A 102,400-byte file that sits exactly on the default request-body limit of Express. These are the default limits a file of this size is useful for testing:
| System | Limit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Express body parsers | 100 KB (102,400 bytes) by default | A request body of exactly this size passes; anything larger returns 413 Payload Too Large. |
| Gmail message clipping | About 102 KB of HTML | Longer messages are truncated behind a "view entire message" link. |
| Amazon DynamoDB items | 400 KB per item | 100 KB fits; the 500 KB sample does not. |
Use this file for
- Checking email size handling
- Checking delimiter detection
- Loading test data into a database in bulk
Testing notes for TSV
- Windows does not open .tsv in Excel by default, so users rename files to .txt or .csv, and the extension stops describing the content.
- A field cannot contain a tab or a line break. Exporters deal with that in incompatible ways: some write backslash escapes such as \t, some apply CSV-style quotation marks, and some corrupt the row.
