HTTP 431 Request Header Fields Too Large Error

Root of the issue

The total size of the request headers exceeds the server's limit.
A single header field's size is too large.
The Referer URL included in the header is excessively long.
The request includes too many cookies, increasing the header size beyond acceptable limits.

# Request example 
curl -X GET https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/ -H 'Accept: text/html' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0'

Check the server's response for the "Upgrade" header to identify the required protocol.
Modify the client's request to support the protocol specified by the server's "Upgrade" header.
Ensure that the client and server both support the upgraded protocol.
Restart the client application to apply the new protocol settings and retry the request.

# Response example

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
