Issue #18781 has been reported by Daniel Drake. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18781: Be more tolerant of old clients in WEBrick server https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18781
Author: Daniel Drake Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: server Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: We have recently upgraded our puppet master from to Fedora 17. This involved a major upgrades in ruby, puppet, etc. We are now hitting http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6117 - our clients are unfortunately running old versions of puppet, we'd like to retain compatibility with them, but they post URLs that are longer than webrick now allows by default. In #6117 you can see people are hit with this because they have loads of extra facts and things, but our setup is actually simple, we aren't doing anything particularly special or fancy. I know that there are other servers available that do not have this issue, but in this case we would really benefit from having the simple, out-of-the-box webrick server working - simplicity is of high value here where the admins have many other responsibilities. The attached patch solves this issue for us, by increasing the webrick max uri length. It's not clean, but I don't think its terrible either. Please consider including this in future puppet versions. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
