[Grub-dev] Max amount of bytes per request

Hello everyone,
	I just saw the latest grub's c# client release notes (hey congrats
thindil! :) and I noticed that line:

""- if max amount of bytes allowed by one request exceed, wrote partial
response to file, instead report as error""

According to the clients page [1] the max amount bytes per request is
25Mb. If the request exceeds that should we just write the partial
response and pretend that everything went fine or should we also report
that with some extra headers in the arc file?

BTW how did we came with the value 25MB? Probably one will not find a
25Mb text/html file on the internet. So this is for binary files, like
pdfs and images, right? I 'm wondering that's the point to write partial
pdf data or partial image data to the arc. They wont be of any value,
would they?


Regards,
Giorgos
