HTH. -- justin : : But note that you can't raise it from the config-file default : without recompiling to change the compile-time default : (DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_FIELDSIZE) which is also 8k.
Exactly (I should've been more clear. Thanks Joshua !) .. I have a request to change the compile-time value (for hp-ux) to 32K, and I don't know if it's safe enough.. : : It might make sense to increase the compile-time default : while retaining 8k as the config-file default. (But this : would probably require changing the name of the constant to : avoid confusing people.) It's precisely what I was planning to do. Has somebody tried something like that (I mean: do you see any security issues around it) ? Thanks -Madhu
