lighttpd 1.4.x has a hard-coded limit of 64k for HTTP request header, though it will accept slightly larger HTTP request headers if the complete HTTP request header has already been received in kernel socket buffers.
Is there a specific reason for this feature request besides "Apache has this feature"? Default size of kernel socket buffers are typically 64k or larger.
