HttpLimitEntry Class

System.Net.Http.Headers

Represents a single entry in the HttpLimits collection, defining a specific HTTP header and its associated limit.

Syntax

public class HttpLimitEntry

Remarks

The HttpLimitEntry class is used to configure limits on specific HTTP headers to prevent potential abuse or resource exhaustion. This class is part of the System.Net.Http.Headers namespace, providing a structured way to manage these limits.

Each entry typically specifies the name of an HTTP header and a corresponding numerical limit (e.g., maximum length, maximum count). These entries are then aggregated within an HttpLimits object, which can be applied to HTTP client or server configurations.
