Description
a user was able to configure the maxHttpHeaderSize in the <Connector Definition. Now the Headersize is fixed to 8k. In my particular case I am configuring jboss SPNEGO Negotiation against AD. Which works, but I have too many rights. making the header bigger than 8k and I am getting:
17:02:59,941 DEBUG [org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor] (http--0.0.0.0-8080-1) Error parsing HTTP request header: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Request header is too large
Please add this again as a configurable parameter.
I am changing this to Bug because darrenl found this on the net: "just looking at an IBM article and it looks like Windows may actually have an upper limit of 12k"
