解决方案

配置 tomcat server xml

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="65536" maxPostSize="4194304"  
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Protocol

原因分析：

在tomcat的org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Protocol类中定义了其默认值：

    /**
     * Maximum size of the HTTP message header.
     */
    private int maxHttpHeaderSize = 8 * 1024;

所以，当请求头大于 8 * 1024，就会报错。针对这样的大数据量的请求，需要单独配置这个maxHttpHeaderSize的值。
