The "LimitRequestLine" directive in OHS cannot exceed 8190 bytes

Summary
The "LimitRequestLine" directive in Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) cannot exceed 8190 bytes.

Details
1. The syntax of LimitRequestLine is:

LimitRequestLine 8190

LimitRequestLine must not exceed the precompiled maximum of 8190. This precompiled value can be found in the HTTP header file $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/include/httpd.h:
#define DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_LINE 8190

Therefore, set the LimitRequestLine directive to a value lower than or equal to 8190.

Applicable Versions
Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4)
