Net::HTTPServerException: 405 "Not Allowed" while saving node at the end of a chef-client run / node bootstrap about chef

[wzin]

After more research it came out that it's the api.chef.io specifically that refuses to handle large PUT methods during node.save.

How to reproduce:

1. have a node that ohai's output size is 3MB like mine
2. reproduce by:

• run chef-shell

chef-shell -c /etc/chef/client.rb

node.save

for servers with large OHAI payload you'll get 405 error.

I think this might be actual problem or configuration param on api.chef.io, not chef-client itself.

closing as this is api.chef.io limit
