|
|
|
|
request-target<sup>[1](#ref-1)</sup> is longer than the server is willing to
|
|
|
|

This rare condition is only likely to occur when a client has improperly
|
|
|
|
converted a POST request to a GET request with long query information, when the
|
|
|
|
client has descended into a "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected URI
|
|
|
|
prefix that points to a suffix of itself) or when the server is under attack by
|
|
|
|
a client attempting to exploit potential security holes.
