I first posted this issue on https://github.com/mapfish/mapfish-print, but they told me that it’s a Geoserver issue. I got the answer “You POST request is sent to GeoServer, then it’s GeoServer choosing to do a GET to MapFish Print”. Here is the initial explanation : Hello everyone, I have an issue with the size of my print request. I send a POST http request because I know that the spec parameter can be really big (I have a custom parameter CQL_FILTER to filter some layers to print). The POST request is well sent with “/geoserver/pdf/create.json”. When I check the generated PDF, I get an empty map with the following error near the zone of the map : “Error java.io.IOException : Error (status=414) while reading the image from [http://…(the](http://…(the) rest of the big url)…”. When I check the log file of GeoServer, I see the same error : “ERROR [print.PDFUtils] - Server returned an error for [http://…(the](http://…(the) rest of the big url)… : Request-URI Too Large” I understand the error, URI too long, but why my POST request is finally converted in GET request to retrieve the image of my report ? Why doesn’t it stay in POST request ? Do I have to configure something in the print plugin ? Any help appreciated. Kind regards, JCB
