The request body was too large to be cached during the authentication process

also how do you get around

There was an error parsing the BBcode in your post:
Unknown BBcode tag:

when using brackets that aren't bbcode. that "ignore BBcode errors" checkbox doesn't do shit

^^yeah ive been wondering about that too

i think the ignore BBcode errors thing not working is fixed in ILX 2.2 or whatever. no clue on the first question

wha? is this mod req 2?

I fixed the BBcode issue long, long ago, but there hasn't been a code update since even longer.

It's a strange one that, Amon, as I did fix (the first question) years ago... Here's the answer:

The solution is to add maxSavePostSize parameter to the Tomcat connector. By default the maximum post size to be cached when redirecting to the login page is 4kb, which in the case of JSF is a little low. By setting maxSavePostSize to -1 the post size is unrestricted.

    <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->

    <Connector port="8081" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"

               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"

               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"       maxSavePostSize="-1" />

As libcrypt says, he fixed it ages ago and I haven't done a deployment since then. However, I will be at some point soon, but since stet and myself have so much to do with this one (as loads of stuff needs to be upgraded), it depends on when we're both available, and we're not at the moment. Some time in the next few months, I expect. But it will involve a lot of downtime (maybe a couple of weeks).

Oops - meant to say that what is odd about the first request, is that I have actually set that parameter, so it should work.

re: first question - i was able to get it to work (large posts) on my home computer so it was probably just my work browser acting buggy

good to hear there's a fix for the bbcode bracket thing. no hurry

thanks
