Tvheadend

When you've changed a few options in TVHeadend (e.g. Filters, shown and hidden columns) and then try to access a page on an Apache server running on the same IP address Apache reports the following error message:-

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.
Cookie
/n
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at 127.0.1.1 Port 80

If you look in Chrome's developer tools you can see that the Cookies are using 8841bytes - however the [[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize|default Apache limit is 8190]] which means anyone else running Apache and TVHeadend on the same machine is likely to hit the same issue

It's getting rather old having to zap my cookies constantly

I have been able to work round this by setting the Apache option:-
LimitRequestFieldSize 32768
but that didn't work in the shared file!
