Where 10 KB matters

A 10,240-byte file that still arrives in the first round trip of a new connection. These are the default limits a file of this size is useful for testing:

SystemLimitNote
TCP initial congestion windowAbout 14.6 KB (10 segments)A 10 KB response fits in the first flight of packets; the 25 KB sample does not.
nginx and Apache request headers8 KB per header line by defaultData this large must go in the request body.
webpack asset modules8 KB by defaultAssets over the threshold are emitted as files instead of data URIs.

All 10 KB sample files

Use this file for

  • Checking thumbnail and icon handling
  • Verifying upload filters that allow or block RTF
  • Testing legacy document import

Testing notes for RTF

  • Two MIME types are in use, application/rtf and text/rtf, and allow-lists should recognise both.
  • RTF readers must skip groups they do not understand; a parser that fails on unknown control words is not conformant.
