Note: I don't think the HTTP RFC imposes a limit, so in this area Puppet behaves correctly. > The average "GET /development/catalog/host.domain?facts=..." has 4000 bytes. > Although there is still room to grow, it is not difficult to reach the URI > limit if you distribute custom facts. > > Is it possible to HTTP POST instead of GET? I don't think so, because we're GETting a catalog. To be RESTful, we should keep using GET. > (if you use storeconfigs you are changing server state anyway) No. Storeconfigs doesn't change the state of the server. It just "caches" the configuration somewhere else. What could be done is to maybe gzip the facts before using them as a request parameter. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2668: Too many facts: request-URI Too Large http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2668 Author: David Escala Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: plumbing Target version: 0.25.2 Affected version: 0.25.0 Keywords: Branch: Puppet client says <pre> err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 414 on SERVER: Request-URI Too Large </pre> when facter URL is too large. <pre> # facter | wc 75 295 5947 </pre> Note we are using @http_proxy_h...@.
