Default HTTP header size for a Tomcat Server Application in NEO environment

[sathishkumar_ramasamy]

Hello All,

What is the maximum allowed HTTP Header size for Tomcat Application Running in the NEO environment with Java 8 version?

We have a scenario where customer browser cookie size keeps on growing and the same cookie is sent to the server when there is a call made from client to server.

Thanks,

Sathish

Wouldn't it be the better solution to find the reason why the cookie is growing?

The issue is occurring mainly in the chrome browser, where the user is setting the "continue where I left" option in the browser which opens all the tabs everytime when you close and open the browser.

This setting maintains all cookies of the expired sessions due to the above setting.

So the cookies are getting piled up for the current and expired sessions.

But I never have issues with that setting on Google, Facebook and other websites. I only face this issue regularly on SAP API Management. The issue that I've described here: API Mgmt on Cloud Foundry (Production): Host Alias and Base Path are empty when opening an API can only be solved by manually deleting the cookies. Please do not build another solution that doesn't handle the cookies correctly. Setting the HTTP Header size is only a workaround.
