+### max\_request\_size `16384`
|
|
|
+Size limit for HTTP request headers and header data returned from CGI scripts, in Bytes.
|
|
|
+A buffer of the configured size is pre allocated for every worker thread.
|
|
|
+max\_request\_size limits the HTTP header, including query string and cookies,
|
|
|
+but it does not affect the HTTP body length.
|
|
|
+The server has to read the entire header from a client or from a CGI script,
|
|
|
+before it is able to process it. In case the header is longer than max\_request\_size,
|
|
|
+the request is considered as invalid or as DoS attack.
|
|
|
+The configuration value is approximate, the real limit might be a few bytes off.
|
|
|
+The minimum is 1024 (1 kB).
