Agreed. It would surely affect the i/o buffer size if set to a small value.; in the case of Tomcat I believe this is org.apache.coyote.http11.Constants.DEFAULT_HTTP_HEADER_BUFFER_SIZE (48k). However, wouldn't prolific JavaDoc ameliorate that issue? > it much. What's a realistic use-case? One use-case is to be able to provide an accurate upload or download meter; I'm not aware of any way to do this with Servlets....are you? (Note I said "accurate", not something like an animated gif which is just a fancy wait cursor).
