How to increase header length in nginx?

Question

PHP

I noticed that with a large number of GET parameters, nginx crashes with a 502 error. Can you please tell me if it is possible to increase the limit on the length of the request headers, and if so, what parameters in the configuration need to be edited?

Answer 1

Thank you all for your attention, I misdiagnosed the problem. It turned out that my nginx crashed not because I sent a lot of GET parameters, but because I returned too large headers in my php script. In general, it turns out it's a bad idea to pass too much information in headers.

Answer 2

It's not nginx that's crashing, it's what's behind it. Accordingly, smoke the application logs and its settings.
