URL length limitation on CSM/SSLM?

[carl.nohrden]

We are using the CSM/SSLM platform to load balance http and https transactions. The development group for one of our web sites has stated that the CSM or SSLM is terminating connections if the URL is too long.

Does someone know what the maximum URL length that can be supported on the CSM and SSLM. Also, is there a way to allow for longer length URL's?

Thank you.

I ran into this issue myself. On the CSM, the maximum parse length defaults to 2000 bytes. you can modify this by going into the vserver and issue "parse-length 4000". If this parameter is not enough, you can set the multipler to x2 in the global parameter. To do this, issue:

module ContentSwitchingModule 2

variable MAX_PARSE_LEN_MULTIPLIER 2

Let me know if this works for you.

Steve,

Increasing the parse-length setting in the vserver did the trick.

Thank you.
