We have a tomcat installation running, that gives the following warning when starting the server:
WARNING: [SetAllPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Connector} Setting property 'maxHttpHeaderSize' to '65536' did not find a matching property.
This should be the relevant part of conf/server.xml:
...
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" maxHttpHeaderSize="65536" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
...
The warnings are produced in tomcat 7.0.14 on a 32-bit Ubuntu 11.04 and in tomcat 7.0.12 on a 64-bit FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE. Oh, and the maximum http header size remains at the default (8192).
What are we doing anything wrong ? ... and is there an alternative way of increasing the buffer for http headers?
