Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
defer temp.Close() sits inside a for loop in the multipart processor. Go defers run at function return, not loop end, so every file part in the request holds an open fd until ProcessRequest() exits. Send enough parts and you hit EMFILE. With CRS loaded, that flips MULTIPART_STRICT_ERROR to 1 and rule 200001 starts returning 400s, including on legitimate requests hitting the same condition.
Details
internal/bodyprocessors/multipart.go, line 69:
for {
p, err := mr.NextPart()
// ...
temp, err := os.CreateTemp(storagePath, "crzmp*")
defer temp.Close() // wrong scope
io.Copy(temp, p)
}
Each iteration opens a temp file and defers its close. All of them stack up and fire together when ProcessRequest returns. 500 parts, 500 fds held simultaneously.
The body size limit (default 128MB) caps total bytes, not part count. A minimal file part (boundary line, Content-Disposition with filename=, one byte of content) is about 104 bytes. That's roughly 65,000 parts per 6.8MB of body, which on a standard Linux system (hard fd limit 65536) is enough to exhaust the table.
Fix is straightforward: call temp.Close() explicitly after io.Copy instead of deferring it.
