I agree with Charles. But, to note: the count of MimeHeaderField instances mentioned in the message is of the same range as the count of Cookie instances. Thus I think that all those header fields are derivatives of the enormous count of cookies that your application created. I remembered about the following incident from two months ago, when programming error caused a session to be reestablished many times in a row: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-Set-Cookie-headers-in-initial-http-response-td20437761.html ("multiple Set-Cookie headers in initial http response").
