Hi,

I am new to nginx and I have been assigned a project where the previous  
developer has restricted the url length to a certain size. I want to  
increase this length but cannot find the place where it has been done.  
Could someone help me out to find where the url length has been set in  
nginx and how to increase it.

Thanks  
tbt

You’ll need to provide more information. Such as your nginx config.
