Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

[AEMnewbie]

Where can we find the configuration to update the request header size in AEM dispatcher?

Hi @AEMnewbie ,

You can define the header limit in Apache config file - httpd.conf

LimitRequestLine 16384

This will increase the size to 16KB

Default value is 8KB

Please refer to below documentation

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/core.html#limitrequestline

There are other settings available too, like LimitRequestFields, LimitRequestFieldSize. Please use them as per your requirement.

Thanks,

Chitra
