I am trying to run a test wherein I create a String that contains 5*1024 bytes of data, add it to a Request as an http header, feed that request to a Component that is running an http server(like this http://www.restlet.org/tutorial#part06), and have it fail because the default size of a header buffer is should only 4*1024 bytes (detailed here www.restlet.org/docs/ext/com/noelios/restlet/ext/jetty/JettyServerHelper.html
However, I must be adding the String to the Request wrongly, because when I run my current code it ignores the extra large header and successfully finds the file. Here is what I am doing currently(using beta 20, if that makes a difference): ...//Setting up a component as detailed at http://www.restlet.org/tutorial#part06 Request request = new Request(Method.GET, "http://localhost:8182/testfile";); Response response = new Response(request); //This is where I am trying to add the header, which could be wrong ParameterList parameterList = new ParameterList(); parameterList.add("x-header-name", hugeStringName); request.getAttributes().put("org.restlet.http.headers",parameterList); // www.restlet.org/docs/api/org/restlet/data/Message.html#getAttributes() request.setProtocol(Protocol.HTTP); response.getServerInfo().setDomain("localhost"); response.getServerInfo().setPort(8182); component.handle(request,response); When run, hugeString should be larger than the header buffer, thus causing the handle to fail, but it doesn't, it finds testfile and returns it. I know it should fail because when I do a wget on the command line with the huge header it does fail. So how am I supposed to be adding headers to an Http Request? Thank you
