Parameter
icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB
Short text
Maximum size of HTTP request that is accepted by ICM
Parameter Description
This parameter protects the application server from a Denial of Service attack with large requests. If the parameter value is not equal to -1, the Internet Communication Manager checks whether the length (content-length) of the request exceeds the specified value of the parameter. If this is the case, the request is not passed to the application server, and an error message is sent to the caller (ICMEPROTERROR).
This parameter applies for HTTP and HTTP over SSL (HTTPS), and is also taken into account by the SAP Web Dispatcher. The value -1 deactivates the check.
