LimitRequestLine Not Working for HTTPS in Apache HTTPD

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Submitting forms on the web page started producing "request uri too long" today after updating the server, which updated http. I tried adding the following to /etc/conf/httpd.conf, restarted httpd, but that did not fix the issue:

    LimitRequestLine 1000000
    LimitRequestFieldSize 1000000
    

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
    • 7.x
  • Apache Web Server (HTTPD)
