DO NOT REPLY [Bug 51665] New: Inconsistent documentation of
LimitRequestLine and friends.
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51665
Bug #: 51665
Summary: Inconsistent documentation of LimitRequestLine and
friends.
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.17
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: docs@httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: riccardo.murri@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
According to the on-line docs
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestline),
LimitRequestLine can be used to lower or *raise* the maximum line
limit:
The LimitRequestLine directive allows the server administrator to
reduce or increase the limit on the allowed size of a client's
HTTP request-line.
However, the doxygen documentation says that it can only be used to
*lower* the default line buffer size; indeed, in file
`include/httpd.h` in the Apache 2.2.17 sources, at lines 185--189 it
says:
Internal buffer sizes are two bytes more than the
DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_LINE
and DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_FIELDSIZE below, which explains the 8190.
These two limits can be lowered (but not raised) by the server config
directives LimitRequestLine and LimitRequestFieldsize, respectively.
Which one is correct?

I think this is a semantic difference only. There's an upper limit beyond which
you can't raise it. However, if you lower it, you can then raise it again,
right? Perhaps it would be best to just say "set" instead of "reduce or
increase."
