Clarify what request-header-size and response-header-size mean

[mikekap]

Jetty's config options are for the PROTOCOL header, not a single Field: Value pair. So these options control the sum of all headers and status lines.

Do you have a source for that? I ask not to doubt, but so we have a record of why changes were made.

Unfortunately Jetty hasn't quite updated the docs, but this was the only source that I could find: jetty/jetty.project#6204 (comment) . The other way is to read through the code and notice that the length is used to allocate a buffer that includes the status line and all the headers.

Thanks. From my reading of the link you provided, the sizes don't include the request/response line.
