I'm getting these warnings in my log file:

Does anyone know what they mean or how to fix them? I'm using jetty-8.1.5.v20120716 . As you can see, they happen very frequently.

Answer 1

Translation: The request entity is too large.
Some client is issuing an excessively sized request URI + request headers.
This will result in a HTTP Response Code 413 Request Entity Too Large to that client.

Answer 2

Got something similar from maven-jetty-plugin; solved by clearing all cookies for the host.

Answer 3

I met the same question in solr-Query,and the reason is "the request is too long".So I add a set which name "requestHeaderSize" in jetty.xml then the problem is fixed . The size is depended on your demand. Hope this can help you~

Answer 4

I found the root cause of a log message like this (HttpParser Full) to be related to using Kerberos auth.
Kerberos adds header data for each Active Directory group.
See this Microsoft support article for more info.
