KestrelServerOptions

Overriding KestrelServerOptions

Default WireMock.Net KestrelServerOptions

These are all available Kestrel server options and you can read here all available Kestrel server options limits and their default values.

WireMock.Net overrides some of those Kestrel server options limits, i.e.

• KestrelServerOptions.Limits.MaxRequestBodySize: unlimited.
• KestrelServerOptions.Limits.MaxRequestBufferSize: unlimited.

You can check the variables that WireMock.Net overrides by default here for .NET Standard 1.3 and here for .NET Standard > 1.3.

Overriding Kestrel server options yourself

WireMock.Net also allows you to override those Kestrel server options and limits.

KestrelServerOptions can generally be overridden using a configuration provider, which expects them to follow the following structure:

{
  "Kestrel": {
    "Limits": {
      "MaxRequestBodySize": 30000000,
      "MaxRequestHeadersTotalSize": 32768
    },
    "DisableStringReuse": true
  }
}

The recommended, multi-platform way of defining nested environment variables is using __.

Examples:

• You can override KestrelServerOptions.Limits.MaxRequestHeadersTotalSize by setting Kestrel__Limits__MaxRequestHeadersTotalSize environment variable to 65536.
• You can override KestrelServerLimits.Http2.MaxRequestHeaderFieldSize by setting Kestrel__Limits__Http2__MaxRequestHeaderFieldSize environment variable to 16384.

Please bear in mind that:

• Environment variable values take precedence over WireMock default overrides.
• You can only override WireMock Kestrel options using environment variables, not configuration files.
