I think the default used to be smaller, I had to change this a while back as well. I changed it in the source code, but there appears to be a compile directive for it.
Here are some previous posts about it. http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2008/2008-02/1203715523000 Here's a sample pulled from the 'net (haven't tried it lately, it's been a while). make clean ./configure --with-maxbuf92 make make install -----Original Message----- From: Kees Hink [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 4:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Pound Mailing List] disappearing cookies with Pound 2.4.3 Hi all, When running pound from the the current Debian/Ubuntu package (2.4.3), i get errors when cookie data exceeds a certain length. The issue isn't present in version 2.4.4, which i hand-compiled. Is this a known bug in older versions? I couldn't find anything about it in the changelog. To test the issue, i did something like 'wget --load-cookies cookie.txt http://127.0.0.1:8081' where Pound was running at port 8081, of course. The file cookies.txt looked like this: 127.0.0.1 FALSE / FALSE 0 c_id_test {data} Note that this should be tab-separated. The server behind pound (in my case, a Zope/Plone site) would print the cookies it gets on a terminal or in the log. Whenever {data} exceeds a certain length (tried with a 1000-character string), the server doesn't see any cookies. This also happens if there are several shorter cookies whose combined lengths exceeds a value of roughly 500 characters. The cookies are not removed on the client, only on the web server side of pound. Regards, Kees -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [email protected].
