Request Response has hard coded limits for message sizes #5791
Description
Description
The request/response module has a 1 MB limit on requests, and 10 MB limit on responses, both hard coded as fixed limits.

It would be preferable if this was configurable.
Is there a reason why these limits are set to these values, are there any obvious downsides to having much higher limits, or no limits at all?
Motivation
Messages which exceed these limits fail with a confusing Eof { name: "u8", expect: Small(1) } error. Sending messages larger than these, such as files, etc would be useful.
Current Implementation
Limits messages to 1 MB for requests, and 10 MB for responses for both JSON and CBOR implementations.
Are you planning to do it yourself in a pull request?
