long urls start failing above 4k characters

[hst-m]

I've got some long query strings on some urls and once they start getting above around 4k characters the uWS response fails with (failed) net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE and the url callback does not get called, and there are no errors displayed in the server logs

uws.App().any('/*', (res,req) => console.log('request'))

simplified example where request does not get logged and no errors logged with request urls above around 4k length, the issue happens maybe 50% of the time at this length and when you get up around 15k it happens about 100% of the time. Are there any limits on url length that I am missing in the docs somewhere? Technically the url spec has no limit on url length. let me know if need any more info

I will likely add solution to reduce url length but wondering if this is issue that needs to be fixed

We use a 4kb max length for requests, meaning URLs must be less than 4kb. This is for security reasons.

Technically the url spec has no limit on url length.

It also is not guaranteed to be ANY particular length, it's entirely up to the implementation.

Is the 4kb max length still valid? I'm able to make it work but I'm getting intermittent empty responses (and the request never reaches the handler).

If that limit is still true, is there a way to tweak it?

Thanks!!
