Resolving the problem

To resolve the problem:
  1. Increase the size of the HTTP request line that is accepted from a client by updating the httpd.conf file for Oracle HTTP server to contain the following line:
    LimitRequestLine 16384

    For complete information about the LimitRequestLine parameter, see the "LimitRequestLine Directive" section of the Oracle documentation at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/q20206/mod/core.html External link opens a new window or tab.

  2. Restart the Oracle HTTP Server.
