Cannot override Kestrel RequestSizeLimit in aspnet core - asp.net-core

Question

In asp.net core 2 a breaking changed was added that limits the request size to 30 mb (source).
In that article, a solution is provided if you would like to overrule the 30 mb limit. This is supposed to be done by adding an attribute to the action like so:
[HttpPost]
[RequestSizeLimit(100_000_000)]
public IActionResult MyAction([FromBody] MyViewModel data)
{
When I do this, and rebuild my project, I still get the following errors in Kestrel:
An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request

This is my Program.cs:
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
BuildWebHost(args).Run();
}
public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.Build();
}
And this is in my Startup.cs:
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env)
{
var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(env.ContentRootPath)
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
.AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true);
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
// For more details on using the user secret store see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=532709
builder.AddUserSecrets<Startup>();
}
builder.AddEnvironmentVariables();
Configuration = builder.Build();
}
public IConfigurationRoot Configuration { get; }
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.Configure<MailSettings>(Configuration.GetSection("MailSettings"));
// Add framework services.
services.AddDbContext<MyExampleContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
// Adds a default in-memory implementation of IDistributedCache.
services.AddDistributedMemoryCache();
services.AddSession(options =>
{
options.IdleTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30);
options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
});
services.AddMvc(options =>
options.Filters.Add(new AutoValidateAntiforgeryTokenAttribute()));
// allow razor-to-string for mailer
services.AddScoped<IViewRenderService, ViewRenderService>();
// enable nodejs in .net core
services.AddNodeServices();
}
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, MyExampleContext context)
{
loggerFactory.AddConsole(Configuration.GetSection("Logging"));
loggerFactory.AddDebug();
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
//app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
}
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseSession();
string culture = "nl-NL";
app.UseRequestLocalization(new RequestLocalizationOptions
{
DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture(culture),
SupportedCultures = new [] {new CultureInfo(culture) },
SupportedUICultures = new [] { new CultureInfo(culture) }
});
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=ExtensionBasicQuotation}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
DbInitializer.Initialize(context);
}
}
Is there anything missing? The way I read it, adding the attribute to the action should be sufficient, however Kestrel still returns a Request body too large error.
Adding the [DisableRequestSizeLimit] attribute instead of the RequestSizeLimit one also generates the same error.
The project is on Microsoft.AspNetCore.All version 2.0.0.
