 Misc. notes
 
-
 If your server limits the size of responses received from HTTP requests,
 then you might need to add the following .htaccess file in your
 top-level (front-end) directory, in order to allow Online Python Tutor
 to receive traces from the back-end:
 
 <IfModule mod_security.c>
 
-# Set a ~10MB limit for response headers (way bigger than default 512K limit)
-SecResponseBodyLimit 10000000
+# Set a ~2MB limit for response headers (bigger than default 512K limit)
+SecResponseBodyLimit 2000000
