Right now the identifier is the URL prefix, and that URL prefix is imposed on our users externally - we can’t insist people do anything, because that anything will be “use a different server”. If the value is a hostname, then it needs to conform to RFC1035 (255 chars + nul). If the value is an URL (such as the name of each balancer) then we need to be at least 255 chars for the hostname in the URL, plus space for the rest of the URL. We could dynamically do this by following LimitRequestLine but that might be tricky, and we recommend people don’t fiddle with LimitRequestLine anyway. My suggestion is we extend the struct with a name_ex (or name2) and a hostname_ex that have 8192 and 256 respectively. This is backportable, and won’t fail in any server with default LimitRequestLine. Regards, Graham —
