Summary
The "LimitRequestLine" directive in Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) cannot exceed 8190 bytes.

Details
1. The syntax of LimitRequestLine is: 
LimitRequestLine 8190

LimitRequestLine must not exceed the precompiled maximum of 8190. This precompiled value can be found in the HTTP header file $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/include/httpd.h: 
 #define DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_LINE 8190
