How to configure jetty max headers size in spring application

I have a spring application that uses jetty server. i need to change the max size of the header in order to send large size headers.

i added jetty to my dependencies like this:

        <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
    </dependency>

can i add a bean that will configure this?

Extending the max URL length reuires enlarging the HTTP Header buffer size, both in Tomcat and Jetty.

Using embedded servlet container in Spring Boot this is done setting maxHttpHeaderSize property to an appropriate value.

The current released version of Spring Boot (1.3.x) supports it for Tomcat only, using server.tomcat.max-http-header-size Spring Boot configuration property.

See: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/1.3.x/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerProperties.java#L751

The latest Spring Boot version seems to support it for Jetty as well, using server.max-http-header-size, but has not been released yet:

See https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerProperties.java#L981
