Description:
Uploading a document smaller than DOCUMENT_MAX_SIZE_MB fails with 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE. The size check compares the base64-encoded payload against the configured byte limit instead of the decoded file size. Because base64 inflates content by 4/3, the effective cap is 75% of whatever is configured — a setting of 5 MB rejects any file over 3.75 MiB.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set DOCUMENT_MAX_SIZE_MB=5 on the openmrs container and restart.
  2. Registration → open a patient → Document Upload.
  3. Attach a PDF of ~4.4 MB (anything between 3.75 MiB and 5 MiB).
  4. Upload fails.

Expected: upload succeeds — the file is under the configured 5 MB limit.

Root cause: VisitDocumentController.saveDocument (VisitDocumentController.java:80) evaluates document.getContent().length() > maxDocumentSizeBytes, where getContent() is the base64 string. Worked example from a real failing file: a 4,573,183-byte PDF (4.361 MiB) encodes to 6,097,580 base64 characters (5.815 MiB), which exceeds the 5,242,880-byte threshold by 854,700 — even though the file itself is 669,697 bytes under it.

Fix: convert the base64 length to decoded bytes before comparing — document.getContent().length() * 3L / 4 > maxDocumentSizeBytes. One line; 3L avoids int overflow on large payloads. DOCUMENT_MAX_SIZE_MB then means what it says, and matches the frontend's own 5 MiB gate on raw file.size, so no configuration change is required.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected document upload size validation to measure decoded file content rather than Base64-encoded payload size.
    • Valid uploads that are within the configured limit are now accepted, even when encoding increases the payload size.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for uploads whose decoded size is within the allowed limit.

Walkthrough

The upload size check now estimates decoded document size from Base64 content before applying the configured limit. A test verifies that a 6 MB decoded document is accepted even when its Base64 payload exceeds the limit.

The controller compares the estimated decoded size with DOCUMENT_MAX_SIZE_MB. The test confirms that an under-limit decoded document is saved when its Base64 payload exceeds the configured limit.

The upload limit now accepts most valid decoded documents that were previously rejected, but files exactly at the configured limit with Base64 padding may still receive a 413 response. Correct the padding calculation and add boundary coverage before relying on exact-limit uploads.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Calculate the exact decoded size before enforcing the limit.

The expression omits Base64 padding. For a document whose decoded size is exactly 7 * 1024 * 1024 bytes, the encoded value ends with ==, and this expression is two bytes larger than the actual document. The controller then returns 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE for a document at the configured limit.

Subtract valid trailing padding, or use the same Base64 decoding rules as the persistence path to calculate the exact decoded byte count. Add boundary tests for one- and two-byte padding cases.
