Bug #18781: Be more tolerant of old clients in WEBrick server
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18781#change-83555

Author: Daniel Drake
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: server
Target version: 3.2.0
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.
