IIRC the HTTP spec limits it to 2kb, so you can't rely on any agent (server, browser or proxy) allowing you more than that. If you want apache to support longer lines (subject to all other agents you use also doing so), build it with your selected value in include/httpd.h, where the limit is defined. But the need to do any such thing smells of a design defect in your application (and how do you deal with logging these huge requests - 8K log for a single request)? -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
