Node.js: how to limit the HTTP request size and up

Question

I'm using Node.js and express.

I would like to limit the HTTP request size. Let's say, if someone sends me a HTTP request more than 2 MB then I stop the request right away. I looked at the code and I think if I change the core, I can do it. However, is there a way to set a max_request_size or soemthing like that?

It is kind of related to my second question. I'm using express to get an uploaded file from req.files. Is there a way to stop writing the file to the /tmp folder (which is the default upload behavior) as soon as the file size exceeds a certain file size?

var methodOverride = require('method-override');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
        extended: true, limit: '50mb'
    }));
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(methodOverride());
