I will try the mod_proxy_ajp to see if that solves OUR problem. But still, that won't solve Apache's problem. For whatever reason, Apache does check the filesystem to see if a given file is there. And FORBIDDEN is not a valid response to that question. I guess what confuses me the most is you guys don't seem to consider this issue as a bug. Is FORBIDDEN a valid answer to a long URI request? > Since reading the thread, and the fact that you are the first app designer > to complain, I'd suggest a review of your design parameters to come up with > URI paths that aren't so excessively long. There may even be issues on the > client side with paths such as these. Even if I could change requirements (which I can't), I wouldn't only to adjust them to an existing bug. Also, I don't consider 400 chars excessively long. Specially when even worst browsers, IE that is, support more than 2048 chars long http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208427 Opera & Firefox support more than 10k chars for URLs I believe... If the problem is "how many app designers complain", just let me know so I can collect signatures for a "formal request". Just tell me how many app designers do you need. ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
