Hi, I would like to send xml-files by using the http-post request-body. But I read that the default maxHTTPHeaderSize is 8kb (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html#Standard_Implementation). So I cannot transfer files of arbitrary size.
Why is there a limit? May problems occur by increasing that size to for example 20 mb? And if there are no problems, how can I set this parameter to 'infinity'? I tried to use "-1" in the server.xml file, but recieved a java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException: <port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" maxHttpHeaderSize="-1" redirectPort="8443"/> I am using Tomcat 6.0.32, Windows XP Professional SP3, Sun Java 1.6.0 Update 24. Thanks and Regards, Jana
