iTP Secure WebServer System Administrators Guide (Version 7.5+)

If you specify a larger number of entries, more memory might be consumed by the file cache; if
you specify a smaller number, the server must access files directly from disk more frequently.
Therefore, HP recommends a survey of the Web site in addition to the physical memory configuration
on the processor.
Only one MaxFileCacheEntries directive is allowed in the configuration file.
MaxFileCacheEntries accepts a value from 256 to 6000.
To disable file opens caching, the CacheTime directive must be set to 0.
Default
When no MaxFileCacheEntries directive is present, the server allows 2000 entries in the file cache.
Example
MaxFileCacheEntries 5000
MaxPostRequestSize
Syntax
MaxPostRequestSize <size-in-kilo-bytes>
Description
Use the MaxPostRequestSize directive to specify the maximum allowed Content-Length of HTTP
POST request. The maximum value for size-in-kilo-bytes is 2147483647, which is the
maximum value permitted for an integer. If the Content-Length of HTTP POST request is greater
than MaxPostRequestSize, the iTP Secure WebServer rejects the request with error 403.
Only one MaxPostRequestSize directive is allowed in the configuration file. If there are multiple
entries in the configuration file, the last entry is used.
Default
The default value for MaxPostRequestSize is 2GB (2097152 Kbytes).
Example
MaxPostRequestSize 5000
MaxRequestBody
Syntax
MaxRequestBody integer-value
Description
The MaxRequestBody directive specifies the maximum size of a message the iTP Secure WebServer
can build from a series of transmissions using chunked transfer encoding.
Chunked transfer encoding is a feature of HTTP/1.1 that allows a client to send a message to the
server as a series of chunks, each with its own size indicator. The server must assemble all the
chunks and add the required Content-Length header before passing the message to a CGI
application. This feature is useful in cases where the client produces the data dynamically or is for
some other reason, for instance encryption, unable to predict the total message length.
The integer-value determines the size of the buffer that the iTP Secure WebServer allocates
for assembling the chunks of a received message. The value is a number of kilobytes and must be
in the range of 32 to 1024.
If the iTP Secure WebServer receives a chunked message and is unable to allocate a buffer, the
server logs an error (413 Request Entity Too Large), rejects the chunked request, and closes the
