HTTP Header size Limit?

[Kruzer]

Anybody know the size limit for HTTP headers? I found this article on the bea.com site.

"HTTP Max Message Size
Specify the maximum HTTP message size allowable in a message header. This attribute attempts to prevent a denial of service attack whereby a caller attempts to force the server to allocate more memory than is available thereby keeping the server from responding quickly to other requests. This setting only applies to connections that are initiated using one of the default ports (ServerMBean setListenPort and setAdministrationPort or SSLMBean setListenPort). Connections on additional ports are tuned via the NetworkChannelMBean.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.ServerMBean

Attribute: MaxHTTPMessageSize
Units: bytes

Minimum: 4096

Maximum: 2000000000

Default: -1

Configurable: yes

Dynamic: yes"
