|
17 | | -* **Support for Large Headers:** You can now utilize much larger headers, whether as a single large header up to 128KB or split over multiple headers. |
18 | | -* **Reduces 413 and 520 HTTP Errors:** This change drastically reduces the likelihood of customers encountering `HTTP 413` errors from large request headers or `HTTP 520` errors caused by oversized response headers, improving the overall reliability of your web applications. |
19 | | -* **Enhanced Functionality:** This is especially beneficial for applications that rely on: |
20 | | - * A large number of **cookies**. |
21 | | - * Large **Content-Security-Policy (CSP)** response headers. |
22 | | - * Advanced use cases with **Cloudflare Workers** that generate large response headers. |
