MaxFileCacheEntries
MaxFileCacheEntries
Syntax:
MaxFileCacheEntries <num_entries>
Description:
Use the MaxFileCacheEntries directive to specify the maximum number of entries
allowed in the file cache where the server stores file opens, file stats, and actual file
contents.
If you specify a larger number of entries, more memory may be consumed by the
file cache; if you specify a smaller number, the server must access files directly from
disk more frequently. Therefore, Compaq recommends a survey of the web site as
well as the physical memory configuration on the CPU.
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
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.
