To be honest, I'm less concerned about the 64K header limit than I am about
limiting a header line to 4096 bytes. I don't know any sites that send back
header lines that long, but they could. Who's to say some site doesn't have
a 4K cookie?

Since you already proposing to limit the entire header to 64K, what is
gained by adding this second limit?
