HTTP::...ooLong(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to HTTP::Throwable::Role::Status::RequestURITooLong — it's the 414 Request-URI Too Long vibe 💅 it's a role from the HTTP::...ooLong manual page (User Contributed Perl Documentation, iykyk) 🎀

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.028 ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically the server is refusing to service the request, because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret. periodt. 🛑

and like, this is a rare condition — it's only likely to happen when:

• a client has improperly converted a POST request to a GET request with long query information 😭
• the client has descended into a URI "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected URI prefix that points to a suffix of itself) 🕳️✨ literally a black hole, iconic
• the server is under attack by a client attempting to exploit security holes present in some servers using fixed-length buffers for reading or manipulating the Request-URI 💀

not me getting a whole manpage written about me spiraling in a redirect loop 🙈

🦋 PERL VERSION 🦋

this library should run on perls released even a long time ago, no cap. it should work on any version of perl released in the last five years ⭐

although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. so like, don't come for it 🫶
