Follow-up on #39
The web services currently does not allow to limit the size or number of the results returned from a query, in a well-defined and controlled manner. It is not possible to set a limit, which then is enforced and can be reported back to users or agents with a status code 413 Payload Too Large.
Issue #39 documents a behaviour where the resulting output is limited. However, this occurs silently by truncating the result and returning an incomplete result without any notification to the user.
In order to allow datacentres to control maximum response times and result sizes, we need a well-defined limit.
