I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean by Integer.MAX_VALUE?

Looking at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/http.html all I
see is this:-
"maxHttpHeaderSize

The maximum size of the request and response HTTP header, specified in
bytes. If not specified, this attribute is set to 8192 (8 KB)."
This does not explain possible values. Can you give me an actual number for
the maximum?

Also I saw in this article:
https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/how-pass-big-number-values-apache-tomcat-url-string

" A value of less than 0 means no limit."
