I've recently needed to increase the max-http-header-size on a Spring Boot application because the request headers that were being sent through from our front end was too large. I increase it from 8KB to 16KB and it's resolved my problem.
My question is: are there any implications/dangers associated with increasing the max-http-header-size? Is there any way it could negatively impact my application, impact performance, compromise security, etc.
I haven't found any explicit info on the subject and was wondering if anyone could provide me with more information.
Thank you!
