hey John,

The header size limit is 112K. If your request was rejected because
the header was too big you'd get: "Header longer than allowed" as an
error message.

Maybe one of the header field name (256 bytes) or value (80K) is too
big. The max length are defined here:
http://github.com/macournoyer/thin/tree/9ae43ca7aabfac13528cb1b58fdc9...

You can get the raw request by running thin w/ the -V option. Paste it
here, maybe I can help out!
