HTTP Form POST Truncated

cromantm Jun 22, 2004 2:33 PM

Platform: JBoss 3.0.6/Jetty???

Problem: Form POST request are being truncated by JBoss if the Content Length > 100,012 bytes. ( I can consistently replicate this using a JSP form)

The problem becomes apparent when you do a
request.getParameter("foo");
which results in a null value although foo is populated.

Anyone knows...
Where is the problem?
Is this a know bug and is there a fix for it?

By the way, I'm not sure what version of Jetty JBoss 3.0.6 is using, how do I find out?

Thanks very for you help.

If you are using Jetty, you need to set the following System property ..

-Dorg.mortbay.http.HttpRequest.maxFormContentSize={max num bytes}

Jetty has a small default limit on form posts as a safety precaution.
