Setting request URI length limit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have Apache 2.2.4 installed on Windows 2000 pro. When I receive a request
longer than 8192 (I think), the server responds with a 414 (Request URI too
long) error. That's fine, but I would like to know if it is adjustable (likely
downward), and if it can be set for a specific method (GET, POST, SEARCH).

This caught my interest because of a repeated exploit attempt I get which is
actually aimed at an IIS server. The exploit, which is probably trying to
overrun a buffer, sends a SEARCH request with about 32 KB of binary garbage.
Apache is handling the situation with no problem, but I'm a control freak. :-)
