Caveats

Some cases in production server, there may be problems related to Request-URI too large. If you are using kubernetes ingress, try to apply this configuration:

annotations:
  nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-header-buffer-size: 100k
  nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/large-client-header-buffers: 4 100k
  nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet: |
    client_header_buffer_size 100k;
    large_client_header_buffers 4 100k;
