apache security: limiting request body size with `limitrequestbody`

this tutorial will delve into a crucial security practice in apache web servers: limiting the size of request bodies using the `limitrequestbody` directive. we'll cover what it is, why it's important, how to configure it, potential drawbacks, best practices, and real-world examples.

before we dive into `limitrequestbody`, it's essential to understand what request bodies are in the context of http requests.

*put:* put requests often include a body that represents the complete resource being uploaded to the server.
*patch:* patch requests often include a body that represents the modifications made to the existing resource.
*other methods:* other http methods like delete, options, and head may or may not ...
