Please specify what max body size the server requires

[wal-f]

I have this running behind Nginx, and initially got 413 error codes because the default request body size limit is too small. Obviously this isn't rest-server's fault, but it would be helpful for the docs to mention what this limit should be; is it the largest file that could be transferred, or a particular size that clients don't go above? Setting unlimited does not seem like a sensible workaround.

rest-server/README.md

Line 171 in 4e4e8c0

But, even if you use HTTPS transport, the REST protocol should be faster and more scalable, due to some inefficiencies of the SFTP protocol (everything needs to be transferred in chunks of 32 KiB at most, each packet needs to be acknowledged by the server).

I think the largest files uploaded should be the data packs, which is customizable but defaults to 16 MiB.
