Apache 2.4.16 Response Header value clipped

apache-2.4http-headers

Problem: The value of a Response Header is greater than 8K and always clipped.

Server Config:

  • Apache 2.4.16-x64 with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http / Running on Windows Server 2012

Httpd.conf:

  • LimitRequestFieldSize 65536
  • LimitRequestLine 65536
  • ProxyIOBufferSize 65536

Virtual Host conf:

When calling the backend directly the Header Value comes back ok (appr. 30K)
Through the proxy its always clipped after 8K.

LimitRequestFieldSize etc. should work in 2.4.16 out of the Box without recompiling.
Decreasing the Value shows an effect (HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Large..)

Can anybody provide fresh ideas or key words to search further with?

Thanks in advance:)

I looked at this problem last month in Apache, and it is a mod_proxy specific limitation in all releases.
