Hi, When I send a request to Tomcat via mod_jk I get the following error (code 413): Request Entity Too Large The requested resource /myapp/jsp/cookieshowvalue.jsp does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit. I total size of my headers/cookies is about 7.5KB on Solaris 10 and 9.8KB on RH Linux. I made sure that Apache's limit was set way above its default of 8K (LimitRequestFieldSize 25000) The mod_jk logfiles shows: [Mon Mar 02 14:42:22.856 2009] [27893:4136860560] [error] ajp_marshal_into_msgb::jk_ajp_common.c (417): failed appending the header value [Mon Mar 02 14:42:22.856 2009] [27893:4136860560] [info] ajp_service::jk_ajp_common.c (2042): Creating AJP message failed, without recovery [Mon Mar 02 14:42:22.856 2009] [27893:4136860560] [info] service::jk_lb_worker.c (1188): unrecoverable error 413, request failed. Client failed in the middle of request, we can't recover to another instance. [Mon Mar 02 14:42:22.856 2009] myWorker test.domain.com /myapp/jsp/cookieshowvalue.jsp 200 0.000316 0 HTTP/1.1 GET [Mon Mar 02 14:42:22.856 2009] [27893:4136860560] [info] jk_handler::mod_jk.c (2357): Aborting connection for worker=myWorker The problem is apparent with any version of Apache or mod_jk or Tomcat (I am testing with 2.2.11, 1.2.26, 6.0.14) I read the following doc http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ajp/ajpv13a.html which says there is no limit: "This works on the assumption that no header names will have length greater than 0x9999 (==0xA000 - 1), which is perfectly reasonable, though somewhat arbitrary. (If you, like me, started to think about the cookie spec here, and about how long headers can get, fear not -- this limit is on header names not header values. It seems unlikely that unmanageably huge header names will be showing up in the HTTP spec any time soon)." I tried to read some of the source code jk_ajp_common.c ... but i cannot figure out where the limit for the header array(s) comes from. Any idea guidance troubleshooting tips are welcome...
