[Simpleweb-Support] Simple Bug Report: Server returns no response if request header is 1536 Bytes

[<dav...@bt...>]

Hi,

This message is to report a bug that we encountered with Simple Framework 4.1.21 running on Windows 7.  The bug was diagnosed using Fiddler2.

Reproduction Steps:


1)      Create a simple HelloWorld application as found here<http://www.simpleframework.org/doc/tutorial/tutorial.php>.

2)      Create a request with a header sized 1536 in Fiddler2 (we modified an existing request to be exactly 1536).

3)      Watch if fail.

Thoughts/Observations:

The same request with a header sized 1537 & 1535 (added/remove characters from http-referrer) works perfectly.
This bug was noticed in a production scenario as we had a large query string, only occurred in firefox because of the unique combination of headers.
Crazy bug, no idea what the cause may be.
We've worked around the issue by padding the header with meaningless data to ensure we don't hit 1536.

Cheers,

David
