I'll let you read André's and Chuck's harangues about your dubious recollection of the HTTP specification. On a related note, Apache httpd (used by the OP, so definitely relevant, here) has a configuration option for limiting the length of the first-line of the request from a client: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestline The default limit in 2.0 and 2.2 is 8190 (an seemingly strange number unless you account for the CR LF end-of-line marker required by the specification (in section 2.2, since you asked). Presumably, httpd uses fgets and the default buffer size of 8190 gives them a round-numbered buffer size... though for no particular reason. Since Apache httpd will choke after 8177 characters of URI (8190 - 13 required characters for "GET" and the HTTP version identifier), the OP would be wise to change this setting in httpd.conf. Or switch to POST, which is probably the right answer, here. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksUItcACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PB6oQCfdpF6kZpqyrglITbfEisLK4cO MDcAoJE5HOrvzVuQpTOFNGXHT40RiQt/ =PIjv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
