MaxRequestSize (MAXSIZE) protocol option

Specifies the size of the largest request the database server can accept.

Syntax

{ MaxRequestSize | MAXSIZE }=size[ k | m | g  ]

Available protocols

HTTP, HTTPS

Allowed values

size – This integer specifies the size of the largest request the database server can accept. The default value is in bytes, but you can use k, m, or g to specify units of kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, respectively. The value 0 disables this limit, but should be used with extreme caution. Without this limit, a rogue client could overload the database server or cause it to run out of memory.

Default

100k

Remarks

If the size of a request exceeds this limit, the connection is closed and the client returns a response indicating that the request is too large. This value limits only the size of the request, not that of the response.

Example

The following command instructs the database server to accept requests up to 150000 bytes in size:

iqsrv16 -xs http(MaxRequestSize=150000)
