https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html#MAX_VALUE
Looking at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/http.html all I
see is this:-
"maxHttpHeaderSize
The maximum size of the request and response HTTP header, specified in
bytes. If not specified, this attribute is set to 8192 (8 KB)."
This does not explain possible values. Can you give me an actual number for
the maximum?
See above.
The theoretical maximum is so far above any sensible value there is not
much point documenting it.
Also I saw in this article:
https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/how-pass-big-number-values-apache-tomcat-url-string
" A value of less than 0 means no limit."
That text is copied directly from the Tomcat documentation and is part
of the description for maxParameterCount, not maxHttpHeaderSize. What
makes you think it might apply to maxHttpHeaderSize?

Hi

Integer.MAX_VALUE
I have Tomcat setup using kerberos authentication and for some users the
Authorisation header is too large (too many AD groups).
I have seen various articles when googling but I want something from
official documentation to state what the possible values for this field
are. Is it true that setting a value of "-1" causes a limitless maximum
header size value?
Where did you read that? I don't see that in the documentation.
