+description: "Configure a larger http read buffer size"
+---
+
+Dapr has a default limit of 4KB for the http header read buffer size.  When sending http headers that are bigger than the default 4KB, you can increase this value. Otherwise, you may encounter a `Too big request header` service invocation error. You can change the http header size by using the `dapr.io/http-read-buffer-size` annotation or `--dapr-http-read-buffer-size` flag when using the CLI.

+
+When running in self hosted mode, use the `--dapr-http-read-buffer-size` flag to configure Dapr to use non-default http header size:
+
+```bash
+dapr run --dapr-http-read-buffer-size 16 node app.js
+```
+This tells Dapr to set maximum read buffer size to `16` KB.

+On Kubernetes, set the following annotations in your deployment YAML:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: myapp
+  namespace: default
+  labels:
+    app: myapp
+spec:
+  replicas: 1

+        dapr.io/app-port: "8000"
