I did a put to ES and got the following error: org.elasticsearch.common.netty.handler.codec.frame.TooLongFrameException: An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes. # Set a custom allowed content length: # # http.max\_content\_length: 100mb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

How does your PUT request look like? You send a HTTP header with \>4k, which is not usual. You can increase the length with the parameter http.max\_initial\_line\_length The parameter http.max\_content\_length covers the total message length Jörg On Sat, Aug 9, 2014 at 1:42 AM, Sitka [sitkawoof@gmail.com](mailto:sitkawoof@gmail.com) wrote: > I did a put to ES and got the following error: > > org.elasticsearch.common.netty.handler.codec.frame.TooLongFrameException: > An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes. > > # Set a custom allowed content length: > > # > > # http.max\_content\_length: 100mb > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/6685e59c-1e57-46f6-8228-e560e409c98e%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/6685e59c-1e57-46f6-8228-e560e409c98e%40googlegroups.com) > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/6685e59c-1e57-46f6-8228-e560e409c98e%40googlegroups.com?utm\_medium=email&utm\_source=footer](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/6685e59c-1e57-46f6-8228-e560e409c98e%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer) > . > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/d/optout](https://groups.google.com/d/optout). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
