URL length

dev support

Hello to all!

In last few days I have seen next error:

Generic Connector Communication Error:
Please check and adjust your setup:
Ensure that Tomcat is running on given host and port.
If this is a timeout error consider adjusting IIS timeout by changing executionTimeout attribute in web.config (see manual).

when I trying to submit form with mora than 2000 characters. I chek my IIS request filter setting and set up maximum limmit for maximum URL length. But the error was shown again.

But, less than 2000 characters I can send.

Probably somebody mets this problem. How I can solve it?

I’m using lucee 5.3.2.77 on Windows 2008 R2. IIS 7, Tomcat ver 9.0.20

Hi @Temza, Be welcome!!! What happens if you do the test directly to tomcats port 8888? And: Do the tests cause any entries in any of the tomcat logs?

Thanks! It was my mistake. Forget to set method=Post. Found some articles about setting parameters for HTTP in registry MaxFieldLength and UrlSegmentMaxLength it might be helpful for somebody.
