431 Request Header Fields Too Large (RFC 6585)

This is an educational reference page about HTTP 431 Request Header Fields Too Large. The page itself is served as 200 OK so it can be indexed as HTTP documentation.

The server is unwilling to process the request because either an individual header field, or all the header fields collectively, are too large.

4xx client error – the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled
