How-To: Handle large http header size
Dapr has a default limit of 4KB for the http header read buffer size. When sending http headers that are bigger than the default 4KB, you can increase this value. Otherwise, you may encounter a Too big request header
service invocation error. You can change the http header size by using the dapr.io/http-read-buffer-size
annotation or --dapr-http-read-buffer-size
flag when using the CLI.
When running in self hosted mode, use the --dapr-http-read-buffer-size
flag to configure Dapr to use non-default http header size:
dapr run --dapr-http-read-buffer-size 16 node app.js
This tells Dapr to set maximum read buffer size to 16
KB.
On Kubernetes, set the following annotations in your deployment YAML:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: myapp
namespace: default
labels:
app: myapp
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: myapp
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: myapp
annotations:
dapr.io/enabled: "true"
dapr.io/app-id: "myapp"
dapr.io/app-port: "8000"
dapr.io/http-read-buffer-size: "16"
...
