Hi, I actually think it is by design, and I'm just curious as to why they have chosen such a low limit. The fact that it is not logged when headers are dropped, and that the local development environment doesn't have the same limitation might be a bug though. The API:s are built by us, and right now we use multi-value headers to get around this problem, but it would make our lives easier if we could just send one header. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
