APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• There is a limit to the length of a URL that the Edge Components
  Caching Proxy can handle.  That limit is 4K.  This will also
  need to be taken into account when using Load Balancer's CBR
  (Content Based Routing)plug-in in conjunction with Caching Proxy
  NOTE:  There is no limitation on the URL length, when using the
  Edge Components Load Balancer product, however, there is a limit
  on the entire HTTP header, it must be under 64K.
  These specifications are valid on ALL versions of the prodcuts
  in question.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The URL in an HTTP request is limited to 4K bytes.
  

Problem conclusion

• This is a fixed limitation and when using Caching Proxy by
  itself or in conjunction with any other product, the incoming
  URLs will be matched based upon the first 4KB. Any data after
  the first 4K will be ignored.
  

Temporary fix
