As a result, + filters such as mod_include are limited to making <code>GET</code> requests + only when including other URLs as subrequests, even if the + original request was a <code>POST</code> request, as the discarded + request body is no longer available once filter processing is + taking place.</p> + + <p>When this directive has a value greater than zero, request + handlers that would otherwise discard request bodies will + instead set the request body aside for use by filters up to + the maximum size specified. In the case of the mod_include + filter, an attempt to <code>POST</code> a request to the static + shtml file will cause any subrequests to be <code>POST</code> + requests, instead of <code>GET</code> requests as before.</p> + + <p>This feature makes it possible to break up complex web pages and + web applications into small individual components, and combine + the components and the surrounding web page structure together + using <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code>. The components can take the + form of CGI programs, scripted languages, or URLs reverse proxied + into the URL space from another server using + <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>.</p> + + <p><strong>Note:</strong> Each request set aside has to be set + aside in temporary RAM until the request is complete. As a result, + care should be taken to ensure sufficient RAM is available on the + server to support the intended load. Use of this directive + should be limited to where needed on targeted parts of your + URL space, and with the lowest possible value that is still big + enough to hold a request body.</p> + + <p>If the request size sent by the client exceeds the maximum + size allocated by this directive, the server will return + <code>413 Request Entity Too Large</code>.</p> + + <p>Handlers such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code> that consume request + bodies for their own purposes rather than discard them do not take + this directive into account.</p> + + +<h3>See also</h3> +<ul> +<li><a href="mod_include.html">mod_include</a> documentation</li> +</ul> +</div> +<div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> <div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="Limit" id="Limit"><Limit></a> <a name="limit" id="limit">Directive</a></h2> <table class="directive"> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Description">Description:</a></th><td>Restrict enclosed access controls to only certain HTTP |
