| Usage | request_header_max_size (KB) |
Description
This specifies the maximum size for HTTP headers in a request. Request headers are usually relatively small (about 512 bytes). Placing a limit on the request header size will catch certain bugs (for example with persistent connections) and possibly buffer-overflow or denial-of-service attacks.
