I was doing a PUT to ES and got this error: org.elasticsearch.common.netty.handler.codec.frame.TooLongFrameException: An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes. I checked the message and it was indeed larger than 4096. So I went to elasticsearch.yml config file and found: # Set a custom allowed content length: # # http.max\_content\_length: 100mb in the section configuring the HTTP ports. I uncommented the line can made the number smaller and saved. Stopped ES and restarted it. Did the same PUT again. Got the same error. Leads me to believe this parameter is not correctly being processed at start up. Anyone out there had the same experience and found another fix for it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Check indentation. YAML is very sensible. So if you have: cluster.name: bla http.max\_content\_length: 100mb The later won't be applied. It must be: cluster.name: bla http.max\_content\_length: 100mb -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 9 août 2014 à 01:48, Sitka [sitkawoof@gmail.com](mailto:sitkawoof@gmail.com) a écrit : I was doing a PUT to ES and got this error: org.elasticsearch.common.netty.handler.codec.frame.TooLongFrameException: An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes.
