After upgrading our Django **1.11** project from Python 2.7 to 3.7, our
single endpoint decorator to override django conf settings no longer
works. requests.py inside the virtual environment /lib/python3.7/site-
packages/django/http triggers the RequestDataTooBig exception (~line 271)
before the change to DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE has been increased by our
decorator. We are able to make the change global inside settings.py
however we are concerned with the security vulnerabilities due to the size
we want to allow for the single endpoint.
