Andreas Auernhammer c5a00e513c fix DoS vulnerability in request authentication (#5887)
This commit fixes a DoS vulnerability in the
request authentication. The root cause is an 'unlimited'
read-into-RAM from the request body.

Since this read happens before the request authentication
is verified the vulnerability can be exploit without any
access privileges.

This commit limits the size of the request body to 3 MB.
This is about the same size as AWS. The limit seems to be
between 1.6 and 3.2 MB - depending on the AWS machine which
is handling the request.
