MSIR.0386 SSL input message too long - increase SSLBSIZE

This message indicates that an encrypted message was received that exceeded the default SSLBSIZE for the port or the SSLBSIZE specified as a parameter on the JANUS DEFINE command for a port. Since many browsers provide no control over the SSL block size they will use the largest block size allowed (32760 bytes) if a request is large enough.

If a secure port is being used for file uploads the SSLBSIZE on the JANUS DEFINE command must almost certainly be set to 32760. Otherwise, the SSLBSIZE must be set to the size of the largest expected form request which means that it should probably be a few hundred larger than the RBSIZE for the port.

For most sites, SSLIBSIZE can only be set larger than 16K if CUSTOM=18 is also set. See the discussion on the SSLIBSIZE (JANUS DEFINE parameter) page for further information.

See the Janus TCP/IP Base Reference Manual for more information about the JANUS DEFINE command.
