Description

curl -k  -vvv -i -L --negotiate -u : https://<servername>:50070

< HTTP/1.1 413 FULL head
HTTP/1.1 413 FULL head
< Connection: close
Connection: close
< Server: Jetty(6.1.26)
Server: Jetty(6.1.26)

For some users, the spnego token too large for the default header buffer used by Jetty.

Though the issue is fixed for HTTP connections (via HADOOP-8816), HTTPS connections needs to be fixed as well.
