I'm working on a NodeJS Server side app that uses Express to serve up REST Services. This is a microservice that handles authentication duties.
For some reason, I started getting 431 errors, which was causing lots of issues because the app couldn't validate the user, then forced them to re-login which was causing a loop.
What is a 431 error? It means the request header is too large.
Thankfully with NodeJS this is pretty easy to fix. We just specify the max-http-header-size command line argument when launching the NodeJS server.
I just had to do this:
This was interesting to me because a bunch of sites on the Internet say that 8192 is the default max-http=header-size. And the docs say 16384 is the default, and I specified it to a number lower than that to make it work.
But, at least my current problem is solved.
For those that find this, I'm currently running 12.22.1.
