Request Entity Too Large mod_jk

Question

I have setup where there is apache (httpd) and apache tomcat both are connected with ajp and in my http.conf

LimitRequestLine 65536
LimitRequestFieldSize 65536

under <VirtualHost> and outside of it as well

my workers.properties file looks like

worker.list=local
worker.local.host=127.0.0.1
worker.local.local.max_packet_size=65536
worker.local.port=9210
worker.local.reply_timeout=1800000
worker.local.type=ajp13

now I am making a request with cookie value > 8Kb and I see error message on response

Request Entity Too Large

does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.

I turned debug logging for mod_jk and I see

ajp_marshal_into_msgb::jk_ajp_common.c (450): failed appending the header value for header 'Cookie' of length 6

apache access log at debug level doesn't show anything

ErrorLog            /some/pathapache.error.log
LogLevel            debug

Any one has any pointer as to what is incorrectly configured ?

apache version 2.4.6

Solution

There was a typo in worker.properties

worker.local.local.max_packet_size=65536

instead of

worker.local.max_packet_size=65536

I am actually able to pass cookie from browser to server, i verified by loggong cookie on server

Why are you using a cookie that's too large for any browser to use?

I don't have control over this cookie, it is being returned as session cookie from some SSO, @thete
