What’s the maximum URL length in Tomcat?

by

You can edit tomcat/conf/server.xml’s HTTP/1.1 Connector entry, and add a maxHttpHeaderSize=”65536″ to increase from the default maximum of 8K or so, to 64K. I imagine that you could up this number as high as necessary, but 64K suffices for my needs at the moment so I haven’t tried it.

<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="65536" protocol="HTTP/1.1" ... />
