Hi Ahmad, I am receiving a lot of '400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large' errors on my applications.

I have increased the buffer header sizes but this error is still happening.

can you suggest a fix?

Yes we've found that annoying too. It's because the cookie names are rather long and web browsers have a data limit on cookies built in. The cookies store the settings of which columns are to be displayed for each table.

So we did three things as a workaround:
1) modded the code to shorten the cookie names so the prefix is just "c" instead of the default (sorry can't remember offhand where we did this)
2) used shorter table names so the cookie names are shorter
3) installed a browser plugin called "cookie editor" for firefox (and chrome?) that lets you delete cookies. Even after shortening the cookie names we do still have to delete some cookies once in a while. But it's quick and easy once you know how.

Hopefully Ahmad is working on a more elegant solution, but these are workarounds I can suggest for now.

thanks David,

Ahmad, can you point me in the direction to amend the prefix of the cookies?

I have the same problem: my application has more than 100 tables.
The cookies are saved in the generated script datalist.php
The default for expiring is 30 (days), I have did set it to -1, so the cookies are deleted immediately.
See the code

thanks Bert, does this cause any functionality issues (ie, hitting the backbutton, etc)

I did not find any problem, they only thing is: the cookie is not saved, so if you changed the display and hide some fields, the next time you visit the table all fields are visible again.
In a new version I made an exeption for some tables like

seems like a good workaround Bertv, appreciate you sharing!

I've fixed this bug in the upcoming AppGini 5.73 ... sorry for the inconvenience.

Hardly waiting for this new version and its improvements list !
XMas is in a few days !!!

It got delayed for some time in order to perform more thorough testing. I hope we'll be able to release it before mid January.

thanks Ahmad, eagerly waiting on the newer version, keep up the good work
