Info

This repo serves as an example for reproducing bug/weird behaviour I've noticed in Gotenberg:5.

Prerequisites

Download a docker image for gotenberg:5 and run it locally

Steps to reproduce

1. Run Gotenberg at <GOTENBERG_URL>
2. call convert/html with the index.html and header.html e.g., which is successful:

   curl --request POST \                                                                    
       --url http://localhost:3000/convert/html \
       --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
       --form [email protected] \
       --form [email protected] \
       -o result.pdf

3. Add any character to the header file, and call curl again - now it fails with error message printing page to PDF: cdp.Page: PrintToPDF: rpcc: message too large (increase write buffer size or enable compression)
4. Leave that additional character in the header.html, but now attach additionally footer.html, and it will pass:

   curl --request POST \                                                                    
       --url http://localhost:3000/convert/html \
       --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
       --form [email protected] \
       --form [email protected] \
       --form [email protected] \
       -o result.pdf

5. add any character to the footer.html and call thte curl again - it fails with the same error message
