"URIs with more than 2048 characters are not supported"

[stephanos]

I just received the message "URIs with more than 2048 characters are
not supported" from a request I was making.
How do I raise/change this limit?

As far as I know this limit only applies to IEs, not other browsers.
The reason I need this is because I use <iframe> as a workaround for
cross-domain POST, that's why I need quite a bit of characters...

If this doesn't work somehow, I'd have to go back to unfiltered - but
I just fell in love with spray...

Cheers,
Stephan

Stephan,

the error you are seeing is being raised in spray-cans HTTP message parser, which is fully configurable.
The ServerConfig object passed to the HttpServer has a field `parserConfig`, which has a field `maxUriLength`, which has a default value of 2048.
You can adapt it to your needs.

If you configure the spray-can HttpServer via the akka.conf file (which is the default) you can also use the 'spray-can.parser.max-uri-length' setting:

spray-can {
parser {
max-uri-length = 4096
}
}

Cheers,
Mathias

Maybe the error message should be changed to: "URIs exceeds the maximum allowed length of 2048. Consider increasing maxUriLength in akka.conf"

this might help out future users
