Re: Is there a known Header limit in mod_jk (or bug)?

Hi,

I kept on testing with the attributes max_packet_size and packetSize (in
worker.properties and server.xml) and it appears to fix the large header
problem.

Does this mean that all the headers together have to fit into a buffer which
size is set by max_packet_size?

Thanks - Fredk
