414 Request-URI Too Large

How to configure nginx to accept larger querystring requests

Increase the 'large_client_header_buffers'

This is located in the 'http' section of the configuration

Example:

    http {
            # override to allow long query string
            large_client_header_buffers 8 512k;
         
            ...
    }
