The reason like Aaron mentioned is simply to prevent an application DOS/failure due to parsing many headers.

 

We believe that 20 is a good number for 80% of the apps..

 

Now, if we start to see that many customers share the same case, we would increase this default setting...

 

 

Cheers,

    What is the impact we increase for a single applicaton where the legitimate number of headers is about 40

    I have changed this number and have not noticed any issues in the past.
