URI too large !

[gch-meoss]

Hello,

for some particular case, I have WMS requests with a very long cql filter query parameter.

the return from these request are error 414 (URI too long). when I check the logs of the docker-geoserver container I have the following message :

WARN:oejh.HttpParser:qtp55331187-22: URI is too large >8192

I tried to add the following env var in the docker compose

    environment:
      - JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dorg.eclipse.jetty.annotations.AnnotationParser.LEVEL=OFF  **-Dorg.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxUriLength=16384**

but it doesn't seem to change anythings.

I am not very aware of java environnement.

Do you known which parameters I can use ? Is it the correct one ? Do I need to change other settings? How can I check that this parameter is taken into account ?

Hey,
You might need to increase other variable for jetty configuration for URI max size.

Seeing online that the name of the vars are :

## Max response content write length that is buffered (in bytes)
jetty.httpConfig.outputAggregationSize=8192

## Max request headers size (in bytes)
jetty.httpConfig.requestHeaderSize=8192

## Max response headers size (in bytes)
jetty.httpConfig.responseHeaderSize=8192

so you could try to add as well -Dorg.eclipse.jetty.httpConfig.requestHeaderSize=16384

otherwise, you will need to modify the start.ini of jetty config i guess

Hi,Isn't it the server (apache) which limits the url size ? default is usually set to 4096 or 8192, but can be changed if you have admin rights on server. However, if changing the server's settings is not an option, try using post instead of get.Please feel free to tell me if the above is rubbish.Regards,RodOn 6 Aug 2025 10:45, Jean-Michel Crepel ***@***.***> wrote: Hey, You might need to increase other variable for jetty configuration for URI max size.
