Why do I get “Error parsing HTTP request header” when POSTing a JSON string?

Question

I am trying to send a POST request from browser to my server(local host). My request URL is :

 http://localhost:8080/myPath/myServlet?requestData={

It seems that you are using POST incorrectly. Although you are using POST you are sending JSON as a request parameter that is the GET style. When using POST you should send content as a request body. In this case no reasonable size limitation exist.
