Ortwin Glück commented on HTTPCORE-4:
-------------------------------------

Looks good! I think that solved it. The API Doc should probably mention the 
meaning of -1 for those limits.

> It would be desirable to be able to specify limits in the parsing of HTTP 
> messages, so that impractically large content (inadvertently or maliciously) 
> fails in a manageable way, rather than triggering an OutOfMemoryError. 
> One possibility would be to set limits on HTTP header line lengths and number 
> of headers; once exceeded, an exception would be thrown.  
> Another would be to set a byte-total cap on how much content can be 
> considered to contribute to the headers; past that cap, an exception would be 
> thrown.
> A possible wrinkle would be implementing compatible limits at other places 
> mid- or late-message where unbounded numbers of headers could again appear 
> (multipart; chunked; footers).
