jetty.http_request_header_size

Background

Larger headers will allow for more and/or larger cookies plus larger form content encoded in a URL. However, larger headers consume more memory and can make a server more vulnerable to denial of service attacks.

Setting the key

Set this configuration key in the server configuration.

Use the configuration key editor to add or edit the jetty.http_request_header_size key, and set the value. This can be set to any valid Integer value.

Default value

jetty.http_request_header_size=8192
