Check the size of one of the request header in nginx conf

[Aziz Rozyev]

by the way, there is easier solution to this (thanks to Ruslan Ermilov)

something like this:

map $http_<header_name> $disabled {
    ^.{65,} 1
}

location / {
  if $disable {
     return 404;
  }
  proxy_pass http://upstream;
}
 

br,
Aziz.
