> When the content-length filter was introduced in NIFI-7153, it did not separate Site to Site (S2S) or cluster request replication requests from user-generated requests. With the default value of 20 MB, it is very likely that legitimate requests of this nature will be unexpectedly blocked. 
> The immediate fix is to change the default value in {{nifi.properties}} to empty and only enable this functionality when a value is provided. 
> A subtask will be opened to investigate if these requests should be excluded from the length limiting filter (either by convention or via an admin-enumerated exclusion list/setting).
