Large_client_header_buffers - meaning of number

Hi,

the doc says: large_client_header_buffers number size

What’s the meaning of number? At most number of large headers can be
‘processed’ at once? Per request or globally? If yes, what happens to
the request that exceeds that limit?

You probably mean wiki.

Docs may be found here:

I believe the description is quite complete and answers all of
your questions.
