Thanks so much for the detailed response. I have a couple more questions: 1) When a request is rejected for being too large, is there any logging that happens or can happen in Tomcat? 2) Apache httpd will accept a request-line of 8190 bytes. Additionally, each header line can have a maximum length of 8190 bytes. With the default maximum of 100 request fields, this means that httpd will accept a header of up to (101 * 8190) = 827,190 bytes in size. Let's say I'm fronting Tomcat with Apache, and I set maxHttpHeaderSize to 827,190 bytes so that they have the same limit. Is a byte array of that size going to be allocated for each incoming request, regardless of how short or long it actually is? And, in a worst-case scenario, if all of Tomcat's default 200 threads receive headers of 827,190 bytes at the same time, I'm looking at about 166 megabytes of memory allocated on the heap. Is that accurate? (I think I have enough memory to handle this; GC might be a little much, though). For the record, I'm not seriously expecting headers of this size on a regular basis, but wondering about the edge cases. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
