Hi,

I think that this property is for Apache HTTP Server - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html

This directive specifies the number of bytes that will be allowed in an HTTP request header.

Closer to this directive, you can try specify maxHttpHeaderSize in the Connector element - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html

The maximum size of the request and response HTTP header, specified in bytes.

Regards
Violeta

Thank you for your reply.

I have opened the tomcat-server.xml file which is located in VIRGO-SERVER-HOME/config folder

and added the attribute maxHttpHeaderSize like below in all connector ports:

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" maxHttpHeaderSize="16930" />

<Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
keystoreFile="config/keystore"
keystorePass="changeit" URIEncoding="UTF-8" maxHttpHeaderSize="16930" />

<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" maxHttpHeaderSize="16930" />

Is this correct?
