http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32202 The hard coded header data size CBUFFSIZE of 512 in ab.c is too small Summary: The hard coded header data size CBUFFSIZE of 512 in ab.c is too small Product: Apache httpd-1.3 Version: 1.3.31 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Other AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We use ab benchmark tool to test some urls and repeated get failed requests. It turned out this is due to the remote server sending back many headers whose total size in bytes exceeds 512 bytes. ab tool simply truncates the headers at 512 bytes and the result is then considered invalid. With many servers supporting all kinds of headers such P3P and LINKS, the header size limit of 512 is far too small. I have changed this to 2048 and find the resulting ab tool works all the time. So I recommend that you change CBUFFSIZE from 512 to 2048 in src/support/ab.c Thanks Richard Chen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
