I'm trying to understand the LimitRequestBody directive. I'm working with the latest versions of Apache 2.0 and 2.3. I added this line to my httpd.conf file in the main (server) section - not in a <Directory> container or any other container: LimitRequestBody 10 I'm using none of the other Limitxxxx directives. Then I sent this HTTP request to the server: POST /cgi-bin/printenv?12345678901234567890 HTTP/1.1 along with the other usual headers typical browsers send. I received a normal response from the CGI (Perl) script. I expected it to fail because the request is longer than 10 bytes - but it didn't. The printenv program returned these relevant headers: QUERY_STRING="12345678901234567890" REQUEST_URI="/cgi-bin/printenv?12345678901234567890" I get the same results when I place the LimitRequestBody directive in the DocumentRoot <Directory> container or the /cgi-bin <Directory> container. What am I doing wrong? Ed
