Oracle (Apache) HTTP Server - Default Header Size limitation

465122Nov 3 2005 — edited Nov 4 2005
Does the Oracle HTTP Server have a http header size limitation? If so, what is the maximum size allowed for http headers? Can it be changed, and how?

Which version of Apache shipped with AS 9.0.4? I've been trying to find the answer to my questions in the Apache 1.3 documentation, but I'm not having any luck.

Let me explain my problem. We're using Vintela's Single Sign-On library for authentication in our java applications. Recently we ran into a problem where a user was not being granted access to the application. Much debugging occured, eventually we had to open a trouble ticket with Vintela. They suggested it might be a http header size limitation and to check the configuration for the web cache and apache. We easily found the configuration options for the web cache, but are still looking for apache.

We've by-passed the web cache and accessed the HTTP server directly and we are still experiancing the same problem.

To keep this message short and concise, I've omitted most of our troubleshooting, we're pretty sure the problem is related to a HTTP header size limitation.
