### 32-bit Limitations

The maximum payload length, configured through `CPPHTTPLIB_PAYLOAD_MAX_LENGTH` or `set_payload_max_length()`, may be further restricted by other components, such as the `std::string::max_size()` limit, compressors/decompressors, or file request handling (where files larger than 4GB are not supported and may be truncated). Different limits may apply based on the API used.
