[jira] [Commented] (TS-2024) HTTP Violation: proxies MUST handle
65536byte-long URIs
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2024?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13705985#comment-13705985 ]
Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-2024:
-----------------------------------
Note that the way CoAdvisor works, if we were to make ATS handle 64KB long URIs, there's almost certainly going to be a new CoAdvisor test that fails (maybe on 128KB or some such). I'm thinking that the problem here really is that we don't produce a valid (414) error code ?

> The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of
> a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they
> serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they
> provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. A server
> SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer
> than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15).
> Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths
> above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
> implementations might not properly support these lengths.

> Section 3.1.1 of HTTPbis recommends for everyone at least 8k octets: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-22#section-3.1.1 - CoAdvisor "recommends" 65k for proxies.
