File upload fails with Error: Request failed with status code 403

[emeister]

Hi all,

I’m a DevOps engineer working with AWS cloud, and I’m following a project where I need to deploy a Streamlit application on Internet through AWS.

We got the error: “Error: Request failed with status code 403” after uploading a file through the file_uploader. It turns out that the error was the Application Load Balancer in front of the server hosting Streamlit. The Application Load Balancer was protected by Web Application Firewall rules, and one of these blocks all the packets that has a body larger than 8 KB (typical of file upload). The name of the AWS WAF rule was SizeRestrictions_BODY.

By disabling this rule, everything worked fine. Don’t know if this can be helpful for whoever has issues in exposing Streamlit from cloud environments.

Hi, were you able to solve this issue? I have exactly the same problem, also when deploying to Azure, works fine locally.

Thanks!

Do you have anything between your app and the users on Azure?

Try turning off XSRF protection by adding:

[server]
enableXsrfProtection = false

to streamlit/config.toml, or --server.enableXsrfProtection=false to the run command. Note that this is not really a recommended long-term / production use; I figure I am safe enough just by having an AD authentication requirement and a small & trusted user pool.

Here are some other topics on the problem, including my own. I have not been able to get a satisfying solution yet:

Deployment on Azure + AD Authentication enabled + st.file_uploader = 403 Forbidden

Hi, I am attempting to deploy a Streamlit app on a production instance of Azure’s AppService. Deployment is done via a Docker image stored on a container registry. Everything works fine when authentication for the App is turned off. However, when I turn it on, the file uploader widget in my app stops working and throws this error: “Error: Request failed with status code 403”. The same issue was discussed here (Deployment on Azure (AppService) + AD Authentication enabled + st.file_uploader = 4…

Azure AD, XSRF protection and st.file_uploader

Like the author of this topic, I am trying to deploy my Streamlit app as a single container Azure Web App. I am running into the same problem with st.file_uploader returning a 403 error when Active Directory is used for authentication. I disabled XSRF protection as suggested here and that fixes the problem. However, I do not understand enough about Streamlit’s architecture to know whether this is a viable long-term solution. The next steps presented in the documentation page are somewhat crypti…

Deployment on Azure (AppService) + AD Authentication enabled + st.file_uploader = 403 Forbidden

Hello, I’m using a production workload of AppService so all issues with regards to sockets and getting stuck on ‘connecting…’ (described here: https://discuss.streamlit.io/t/azure-appservice-with-authentication-issues) are fine, app loads correctly. Deployment is on a linux docker image hosted on ACR (Azure Container Registry). However when a file gets uploaded into the st.file_uploader widget, the POST http request returns a 403 Forbidden. [image] When AD Authentication is disabled, file u…

File Uploader: 403 error when embedding streamlit app in iframe

I am trying to embed Streamlit app on my website. I embedded the app via iframe and it “mostly” works. The only component that doesn’t work is the file uploader. When uploading the file I get the following error: Request failed with status code 403 I got the same error even when creating empty .html locally and embedding localhost link from Streamlit. Guys, any ideas?

I have a low-confidence suspicion that this is caused by the _xsrf token not getting through. I opened up an issue here but I might be way off my base as webdev stuff is not my forte.

Ugh just hit the same exact issue. Running locally in an conda environment

Hi, I’m getting this error.
I’m getting this error when using the streamlit via IFRAME. It’s all local.

What can I do?

[Rachamadugu_Abhinay]

Hi, I am getting same error with my Azure web app. when I tried locally I didn’t got any error. but in Cloud getting this error.

In documentation as per below link Symptom #3.

(App is not loading when running remotely - Streamlit Docs).

I have tried turning of XSRF protection it worked for me. so as per the suggestion we should enable same cookie secrets for replica.

Here my question is I am running app on single azure instances but why it is not working with XSRF enabled.

Please let me know if anyone have any other solution.

[Gourab_Hazra]

This works for me too in Azure web app, after adding authentication. as @ennui and @Rachamadugu_Abhinay had suggested.

If you’re running in auto rerun mode, try to restart your streamlit app server.

[Narmin1984]

The same is here. First time in Streamlit and want to deploy a new project but get an error-Request failed with status code 403. Did anyone have a solution? I’ve tried to clear cache, it doesn’t help

[Ayan_Ali]

I’m getting the same error. Did you find a solution?

[Livia_Meinhardt]

Yes!
You need to add this on the config.tml file:

[server]
enableXsrfProtection = false
enableCORS = false

That worked for me. More on config files: Configuration - Streamlit Docs

[BHUSHAN_KAPKAR]

Hello @Charly_Wargnier Streamlit Team, I am also facing the same issue , is there any bug in it, as per the previous comment you have mentioned regarding the url change and other thing. How do we get it resolved. Thanks in advance for help.

[Andrew_Dunlop]

I have the same issue. Streamlit version 1.30.0 - only just upgraded today and it stopped working. I’m running this on localhost:8501

[Anthony_Gallucci]

I have encountered the same issue AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403 for CSV uploads. This happened once I upgraded from 1.29 to 1.30. I have downgraded for now.
