Review error response codes from EagerContentHandler #15234
Description
Jetty version(s)
12.1.x
Description
EagerContentHandler sends 500 response when the content size limits are exceeeded.
The response codes for this should be 413 or 400, not 500.
In the ServletApiRequest this is not an issue because of the following code
try
{
...
_contentParameters = FormFields.getFields(getRequest(), maxKeys, maxContentSize);
}
catch (IllegalStateException | IllegalArgumentException | CompletionException e)
{
throw new HttpException.IllegalStateException(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST_400, "Unable to parse form content", e);
}However this is not done for EagerContentHandler.FormContentLoaderFactory.
