+\Rack provides a minimal, modular, and adaptable interface for developing
+web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in
 the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web
 servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called
 middleware) into a single method call.

+
+== Configuration
+
+Several parameters can be modified on Rack::Utils to configure \Rack behaviour.
+
+e.g:
+
+    Rack::Utils.key_space_limit = 128
+
+=== key_space_limit
+
+The default number of bytes to allow a single parameter key to take up.
+This helps prevent a rogue client from flooding a Request.
+
+Default to 65536 characters (4 kiB in worst case).
+
+=== multipart_part_limit
+
+The maximum number of parts a request can contain.
+Accepting too many part can lead to the server running out of file handles.
+
+The default is 128, which means that a single request can't upload more than 128 files at once.
+
+Set to 0 for no limit.
+
+Can also be set via the +RACK_MULTIPART_PART_LIMIT+ environment variable.
