Hi We have a number of Apache HTTP servers installed all with version 2.0.54. Lately we have seen a number of "400 Bad Request" in the error logs, and after a lot of testing we have found that this happens then the "Referer" HTTP header field in the request contains a URL that it more than 200 characters long. We have searched the web and apache web site without finding anything about this. Can someone confirm this and tell us how to work around it? We cannot easily replace the servers, so we would prefer another solution... but if no such exist we would like to know whether this has been corrected in a later version of the Apache server? We are not interested in the referer field, so it would be okay if Apache could just ignore it.
200 characters would be a very unusual limit. You can check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize but I suspect the problem may be elsewhere, such as an intermediate proxy.
