Description

Fails with the following exception

We need to add the following to the SSLSocketConnector in as we do for SocketConnector in

// this is to enable large header sizes when Kerberos is enabled with AD
final Integer bufferSize = Integer.valueOf(StartupProperties.get().getProperty(
"falcon.jetty.request.buffer.size", "16192"));
connector.setHeaderBufferSize(bufferSize);
connector.setRequestBufferSize(bufferSize);
