414 4xx RFC 9110 §15.5.15

URI Too Long

Request URI is too long for the server to process.

What HTTP 414 means

RFC 9110 §15.5.15. Most servers cap URLs around 2048-8192 bytes. Common when query strings carry large encoded data — switch to POST with a body instead.

Typical causes

  • Massive query string
  • Encoded data in URL instead of body
  • Open redirect attack attempt
