The hostname, normally in the Host header, is not read until after the
request line. So it cannot be effectively set in name based vhosts.

The manual already warns about it

Yes, the "default vhost" for a set of name based hosts has its
configuration applied as soon as connection level details are known (rather
than request level details)

Great thanks for your quick answer.

If I understand well setting LimitRequestLine 10240 in name based virtualhost ? So what is your recommendation.

Anyway, thanks for the time already spent on this.

Hi everyone,

I've been struggling for almost 2 weeks on this weird issue.
I have multiple vhosts working perfectly either in http and httpS with let's encrypt.

Yet for one vhost we need to set limitrequestline to a higher value. I'm familiar with the procedure and I changed the value in the vhost. Sadly it didn't worked as expected.
After searching in any place, enabling/disabling securities, modules etc... I found another conf conflicting with mine.

The ssl.conf vhost placed in conf-enabled is causing troubles. However its content is not really complicated :

LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so
Listen 443
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName publicdomainname.tld
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "/etc/ssl/certs/apache-httpd.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/ssl/private/apache-httpd.key"
</VirtualHost>

My other vhost is as follows :

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName otherdomain.tld
.../...
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
</IfModule>
.../....
LimitRequestLine 10240
.../...
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
</VirtualHost>

When both are enabled, the LimitRequestLine is not considered when reaching htps://otherdomain.tld . When I comment the Vhost in ssl.conf everything works fine.

Is there any "permeability" between vhosts ? is there any precedence that could cause this vhost to be considered as the "master" of some options? Could anyone lead me to wha I am doing wrong?

Sorry if I'm not clear, any question and/or feedback would be appreciated.

Regards,

Florent THOMAS
